About

Diss sits in South Norfolk on the banks of the River Waveney, close to the Norfolk–Suffolk border. The town grew around a market square and a stretch of historic buildings along the high street, and it retains a mix of shops, cafés and public houses. A distinctive feature is Diss Mere at the town centre, a glacial kettle hole with steep wooded banks that shapes a popular riverside walk. Diss railway station provides regular services to Norwich and to London, linking the town with the wider region.

Roydon is a small parish a short distance from Diss, set in agricultural land and low-lying fen on the edge of the Waveney Valley. The village has a network of footpaths and lanes that connect to riverside meadows and field systems, used by local walkers and riders. Together Diss and Roydon serve as a local hub for everyday needs while giving direct access to the river, countryside and the pattern of old drainage channels that characterise this part of South Norfolk.
