Positioned between Fakenham and Holt, Melton Constable is a village steeped in history, once thriving as a key railway hub and part of Norfolk’s wool trade. Closely linked to neighbouring Briston, the area enjoys convenient access to the North Norfolk coast—officially designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Despite its quaint size, Melton Constable offers a surprising array of amenities: A primary school, nursery, butcher, bakery, two pubs, grocery shops, a Post Office, and a respected Medical Practice. Food lovers will enjoy Melton Spice, a well-loved Indian takeaway with a reputation for authentic flavour. Adding to its local charm, Briston Parish Church houses a rare 18th-century cast iron cello—an unusual and acoustically impressive historic treasure.

Just a few miles away lies the bustling Georgian town of Holt, renowned for its independent shops and vibrant local culture. Many businesses support the 'Love Holt' initiative, which celebrates the town’s creative spirit. Annual events like the summer Holt Festival and the nostalgic 1940s Weekend bring the community together and spotlight the town’s heritage, including the Poppy Line steam railway linking Holt to Sheringham.

Holt is a haven of calm, where cosy cafés and artisan delis are in abundance. Byfords, believed to be the town’s oldest building, now serves as a much-loved deli, café, and guesthouse—a perfect spot to relax. On the edge of town, Gresham’s School maintains its strong tradition of academic excellence.

With its blend of historic charm, community warmth, and easy access to Norfolk’s stunning coast, Melton Constable offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and modern convenience.
