Sculthorpe Mill is an 18th-century watermill turned country pub and hotel, set on the River Wensum near the Georgian market town of Fakenham in Norfolk.

The pub and restaurant welcome visitors for coffee, light lunches or celebratory dinners, and the mill hosts private events and celebrations too. It sits next door to the Hawk and Owl Trust nature reserve, a haven for wildlife lovers and birdwatchers, while the North Norfolk Coast and stately homes such as Sandringham, Houghton and Holkham are within easy reach. Locally, you're also close to Fakenham Museum of Gas and Local History and the Shirehall Museum and Abbey Grounds, for those wanting a bit of history nearby.
