SPEND THE NIGHT IN A ‘LOST’ VILLAGE

Settled by Anglo-Saxons, the Norfolk village of Godwick was abandoned by the late 1500s. Today, it remains one of the best-preserved ‘lost’ medieval villages in the county. Now, after a major restoration project, guests can stay on the estate, with options including a trio of cosy shepherd’s huts, starting at £90 per night (minimum stay of two nights). lostvillageofgodwick.co.uk
