Lovely little shop, if you need a gift for that person who's difficult to buy for,(lets face it, we…read moreall know one of them!), its great. It's packed full of lovely interesting bits from crystals to wooden signs, to jewellery. The only down point is the lack of parking, but then you can reward yourself after taking the short walk up the hill with a pressie for yourself from the shop!

The staff are very friendly and you dont feel pressured into buying something quickly, they give you the time to browse at you own will. When you first see the items for sale you would assume they were very expensive but it is actually the complete opposite, and you will be surprised how cheap the items are. This is certainly a place to go to get those more unusual christmas gifts

The…read moreshop itself is small, but very full of things-so much so that sometimes its difficult to get round the place! Outside is a large fertility statue, with a record of how many people it's helped hanging around its neck! As you go into the store the smell of incense is probably the first thing which hits you-not unpleasant, but sometimes a bit overpowering! They have a small selection of gothic clothes, which look to be good quality, but are quite expensive. They also sell gothic figures, jewellery, incense, and various gifts and cards.

It is a very popular destination for locals from around the region and it was packed when we were there. A nice sunny day also helped the cause. It's a great place to come out for a day and walk along the beach and eat at the many nice restaurants and cafes in town as well as along the waterfront. It's a typical English seaside town and quite charming with gorgeous old buildings dotted along the coast line. I would happily come here any day. A great walk is from Southwold to Walberswick along the tow path and it takes about an hour to walk it. Gorgeous fishing villages and boats dot the waterline.

It's the sort of place that reminds me of what my parents' childhoods would have been like if they had been brought up in this part of the world. From the water clock with its quirky show to fish, chips and a Suffolk beer sitting out on the pier, looking through the boards to the sea below, this is a relaxing, civilised and quintessentially British sort of place. Afternoon tea, anyone ?

Was here with my wife and mum a few weeks back. Always nice to go there as there are lots of little…read moreshops to visit. My wife was really happy to visit the haberdashery shop whilst my main interest when I was there was the cider shop. They used to have a shop selling items that a local craftsman had made on a wood lathe in the shop. This has now gone and a more commercialised shop is there now selling wooden gifts, which is a shame. The Rose shop was amazing, hundreds of different varieties of rose bush, including some classic tea roses.

Taking a small break with my family over Easter, we decided to drive the hour from Kessingland to…read moreWroxham Barns; a visit that we presumed would only last a couple of hours. Over 5 hours later, we were still there and having a great time. For such a relatively small place, there was a considerable amount to keep my two young sons entertained and as many of you will know, smiling children make parenting a lot easier. Parking: We arrived just before noon and were lucky enough to get one of the two remaining parking spaces; I would strongly advise trying to arrive earlier than we did if you're planning a visit during a school holiday, although there were parking attendants to help find spaces that you might otherwise have missed. If you're visiting outside of school holidays I would say there is more than enough parking. Dog friendly: There are signs stating that Wroxham Barns is dog friendly and to a large extent, it is. With that being said, you need to be aware that there are certain areas that you can't take your four legged friend. To make the most of your trip, I would really advise against taking your dog(s). Food: There is a restaurant and a cafe, both with a wide range of food and drink option. We didn't go into the restaurant so I won't be able to provide a review on that; we did go into the cafe and I have mixed feelings about it. First, the bad - As it was Easter weekend we were prepared for it to be busy but I personally don't think that the time of year should dictate the cleanliness of tables and chairs. Our table was covered in crumbs from the previous customers and the child seat had jam spots on it. Nothing a couple of baby wipes couldn't fix, but I surely a little extra planning from the management could have resulted in someone looking out for mess like this. I'm not attempting to be overly harsh about this but there was at least 10 minutes between us arriving and then sitting at the table which was empty the whole time. Now for the good - the food was fantastic. We're not in the realms of fine dining here, nor do we want to be. At a place like Wroxham Barns, we expected traditional British snacks and we had them in abundance. Ask my wife and she'll tell you I'm sausage roll mad; the ones in the cafe left me with a full stomach and a big smile. The scones in front of my wife disappeared rather quickly too; she was delighted with them. Junior Farm: At £6.95 per person, this can very quickly become expensive if you have a big family but under 2's can go in for free. For me, it's well worth the money! The kids had a wonderful time seeing the lambs that were born on that morning, the chicks, rabbits, and everything else. One nice touch is that once you've paid, you're given wrist band to enter and exit at your leisure. They also have a number of activities such as free face painting, feeding the lambs, and holding the chicks. All things that are amazing for children. Gift shop: This is called 'The Gallery' and has lots of things to buy to remember your day out. We bought an amazing painting of an owl for under £40 which is going to take pride of place in our house. There are also a number of typical children's toys, the type of which you often see at zoo's and play areas. The Norfolk Cider Shop: Locally made cider and cakes using local ingredients; I love businesses like this. They offer free samples and I can tell you first hand, both the ciders and cakes are out of this world. You can buy bottles for a really affordable price and the owner will accept repeat orders by phone if you would like more delivered.

The staff are friendly and helpfull and will wrap items if you need them done too.

An excellent pair of shop none the less, they're bargain bucket outlets selling all sorts of bric a brac and household items at very good prices.

Somewhat bizarrely their pavement display consists mainly of socks and underwear (again all at very cheap prices) - I can vouch for their quality and longevity! I love these shops and Wells shopping wouldn't be the same without them.
