Hotels Near Lenwade
Lenwade, a tiny hamlet about 120 miles northeast of London and 11 miles northwest of Norwich, is a former gravel extraction center that now features a hodgepodge of small ponds--gravel pits that have filled in with water. Those ponds have made the town a popular attraction for anglers and birdwatchers. The Weston Park Golf Club, a 6,648-yard championship course winding through tree-filled parkland, lies one mile south of the village.

The Bridge Inn

The Bridge Inn is at the center of Lenwade's public life. Located in the heart of town on an 11-acre plot, the inn offers four standard guest rooms that come with a full English breakfast and amenities including color TV and tea and coffee makers. As its name would suggest, the inn sits at the end of a bridge over the River Wensum, and thanks to its riverside location, two ponds and five-acre lake, the inn is a hot spot for fishing. In fact, free fishing is part of the package for guests. After a day of angling or golfing, visitors can enjoy a drink in the inn's wood-beamed bar or a meal at the restaurant, where main dishes include smoked haddock, pan-seared calf's liver, grilled sea bass and several vegetarian options.

The River Wensum flows through the hotel grounds for two miles, so guests can enjoy activities like fishing and kayaking. But the main attraction is the golf.
