Somerleyton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Somerleyton is a village near the River Waveney in north-eastern Suffolk, England within The Broads National Park.
Many of the houses consist of the model village built around a green that once belonged to the Somerleyton Estate, formerly the property of Morton Peto. Somerleyton Hall is still a private residence, and is open to the public.
The village has a County Primary school and a thatched combined post office and village shop. Somerleyton railway station is nearby, on the Norwich to Lowestoft line.
Somerleyton was the home of Christopher Cockerell while he invented the hovercraft
