The River Wensum is a chalk river flowing from Whissonsett to the River Yarr in Norwich. In the early 2000s, the river was in a state of decline due to siltation and pollution. Since then, improvement works have been undertaken to better the river quality.

An eclectic museum of sea shells hidden away in this little village, a testament to its founder's collecting interests.
