Waxham

Waxham

Waxham is a small village in Norfolk in eastern England. It lies on the north-east coast of the county in Sea Palling parish. Buildings in the village include Waxham Hall, the 14th-century St. John's Church and the 16th-century Waxham Barn. One of the largest barns in the county, it has recently been restored and opened to the public. The village has an extensive sandy beach backed by dunes.

Many migrant birds pass through the area in spring and autumn and Common Cranes feed in fields near the village.
