Diss is a market town in south Norfolk, sitting right on the border with Suffolk in the Waveney Valley. Its most distinct feature is the Mere, a six-acre natural lake in the centre of town that is surprisingly deep - around 18 feet in some spots - and surrounded by floating broadwalks and parkland. The town’s history is still visible in the narrow ‘yards’ and the mix of timber-framed and flint buildings that climb the hill toward the 14th-century St Mary’s Church. It remains an active working town with a traditional market every Friday and a good variety of independent shops, particularly around the Heritage Triangle. Geographically, it’s well-placed for getting around; the railway station is on the main line between Norwich and London Liverpool Street, and the A140 provides a straightforward link to Ipswich for those travelling by road. This makes it a practical base for anyone who needs to commute while preferring the slower pace of a traditional East Anglian market town.
