SOUTH CREAKE is a sought-after village with a large village green and church, surrounded by rolling countryside and farmland neighbouring the Holkham Estate. The village has a pub whose name is derived from the Coke family’s coat of arms, The Ostrich Inn; the Grade II listed pub and restaurant was comprehensively refurbished and re-opened to excellent reviews in 2021.
The village is within convenient distance of the market town of Fakenham, which has a wide range of shops, leisure facilities and schools.
To the north lies the renowned village of Burnham Market with a varied range of traditional, individual shops, excellent hostelries, including The Hoste Arms, and several boutique shops.
The north Norfolk coastline, a National Landscape, (formerly termed an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), lies just six miles to the north of South Creake.
Orchard Barn lies within a designated Conservation Area.
