Waxham is a small village located in Norfolk, England. It is a picturesque area of the country, situated on the East Coast of England, and is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the region. The village has a population of around 350 people and is surrounded by stunning beaches, marshes and nature reserves.

The name Waxham is derived from the Saxon word Waeccanhamm, meaning ‘home of the weavers'. This is due to the fact that in the early days, the village was a centre for weaving cloth. It was also an important trading centre for ships coming from the continent. It was in the 18th century that Waxham began to develop into a popular holiday resort. It was here that the first holiday homes were built, and the village soon became a fashionable destination for the upper classes.

The main attraction in Waxham is the beach. It is a two-mile stretch of golden sand, stretching from Waxham to Winterton-on-Sea. This beach is particularly popular with families and is great for sunbathing, swimming, and beachcombing. The beach is also a haven for wildlife, with a wide variety of birds, seals, and other wildlife making it their home.

Inland, the village is surrounded by flat marshes, which are a great place to explore. These marshes are part of the North Norfolk Coast National Nature Reserve, and are home to a variety of different species. If you're lucky, you may spot some rare birds, such as the bittern, marsh harrier, and bearded tit. There are also some interesting coastal walks to be done in the area, with a number of paths running through the marshes and along the beach.

Waxham is also home to a number of historic sites. The Waxham Great Barn is one of the oldest surviving structures in the area, and dates back to the 14th century. It is now a protected building and is open to the public. There is also a range of other historic sites and buildings in the village, such as the 13th Century St. Nicholas Church, and the Saxon Church of St. Margaret.

Waxham is a great place to visit for a relaxing break. It's a quiet village, with plenty of things to do, and stunning views. From the beach to the marshes, there's something for everyone, and it's sure to provide you with a memorable holiday experience.
