Briston is a large village in a wonderful position in North Norfolk. It really is central to so much in the area.

The village has an excellent village store, post office, proper bakery and superb butchers. All are in walking distance of The Firs. There are also two pubs, a sports playing field and village green. There are bus links to most of the important places locally and beyond. You will find a bus timetable in our information folder. We have found the villagers to be very friendly and helpful.
 

Briston is a five minute drive from the historic Georgian market town of Holt, which has really interesting shops to browse around. There is even a traditional department store, plenty of tempting tearooms and a good sized Budgens. There is an excellent fish and chip shop a few minutes drive away in Melton Constable.

North Norfolk’s famous coastline is within easy reach, being 15 minutes from Blakeney and Cley which are popular for their walks, pubs and restaurants. For those wanting the beach, a trip to the beach at Wells next the sea (20 mins.) provides an excellent day out as well as a nice place to stroll in the evening as does the nearby beach at Holkham. The larger traditional seaside resorts of Sheringham, Cromer and Hunstanton are close by too.  For shopping,  Norwich is close by (25 mins.) and offers an excellent mix of major department stores and small boutique shops as well as being of historical note. If you still want more, Wroxham (often called the capital of the Norfolk Broads) is an easy drive (25 mins.).

Briston is in the centre of picturesque countryside and a short drive will take you to some fantastic scenery and villages such as Thornage, Burnham Market, Stiffkey and Cley-next-the-sea.
