Swaffham and Norfolk Accommodation Guide for Guest House, Camping, Caravan and Hotel Accommodation in Swaffham, Norfolk and the East of England, UK.

By the 14th and 15th centuries Swaffham had a flourishing sheep and wool industry. As a result of this prosperity, the town has a large market place. The Market Cross here was built by George Walpole, 3rd Earl of Orford and presented to the town in 1783. On the top is the statue of Ceres, the Roman goddess of the harvest. Today the town is known for the presence of two large Enercon E-66 wind turbines, and the associated Ecotech Centre. The turbines are owned and operated by Ecotricity, and together generate more than 3 Megawatts. One wind turbine boasts an observation deck just below the nacelle. These have now been joined now by a further eight turbines at North Pickenham.
