Today, Wereham is a peaceful and picturesque place to live with a strong sense of community and range of local amenities including a Public House. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and horse riding. The nearby River Ouse is a popular spot for fishing & boating and there are several natures reserves in the area, including the RSPB reserve at Snettisham.
