Attleborough is a fine
and expanding market town and amongst the busiest of the market
towns we cover. It has seen in recent years the beginnings of remarkable
growth and investment that looks set to continue with the prospect
of more housing and also the improved bypass. The town is one of
Norfolk’s fastest growing market towns. A real buzz exists
within the town.
Newer contemporary shops and businesses have been opening their
doors alongside the equally well-supported traditional and family
establishments. The shopping options continue to change with further
refurbishments taking place or business moving to larger premises
alongside newer stores opening within the gaps vacated.
Trendy cafes, gift shops, art galleries, home improvement stores,
leisure facilities, recruitment companies, fully serviced offices,
fashion shops and stores, restaurants and pubs have all been newly
opened, refurbished or expanded within the last two years. The local
hardware store has had to nearly double in size to accommodate the
demands of growing town!
Supermarkets along with the new arrival of additional chain stores
further complement the more individual shops and stores and continue
to highlight the towns amazing expansion.
Geographically the town is located approximately mid way between
Thetford and Norwich in the midst of splendid Norfolk countryside.
It is situated on the main A11 corridor and as such provides easy
access to A14 (Cambs & London) and also the A47 & Norwich.
The town provides 3-tier schooling with the addition of a sixth
form centre; it also has two surgeries and two dentists. There is
also a good rail link providing easy access to Cambridge, and also
Intercity link to London via Diss (12 miles and Norwich 15 miles)
