Description and Travel

Reputed to have the largest village green in Britain, this in fact forces Old Buckenham into a circular shape. It has its own Church with graveyard. Old Buckenham has the Secondary School for the area, which takes the pupils from its own Primary school, as well as the neighbouring villages, including Banham and Kenninghall. It also has a Castle, although this is normally (wrongly) attributed to New Buckenham - mainly due to the fact that it is 2 miles from Old Buckenham, and a stone's throw from New Buckenham. The bailey still stands and can be visited by arrangement with the owner of the small garage in the village. Old Buckenham has recently had a pub close, and now just has the one by the village green.
