NR4 Area

Consisting of Cringleford & Eaton, NR4 is located 3 miles south west of Norwich and is a popular place in which to live. The name Cringleford is thought to mean ‘the ford by the round hill’ and a village existed here at least as early as Saxon times.

There is a good bus service and being so close to the centre of Norwich, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Norwich Research Park, University of East Anglia and within easy reach of the A47, A11 and the A140, it attracts many professional people.

Cringleford has a great village atmosphere with many desirable and sought-after properties. It has won the Norfolk Village of the Year Competition six times, Best Kept Children’s Play-area three times and has also won the Best Kept Village Green Competition.

Although Eaton is a city suburb, it still has a village feel. Its boundaries are from Eaton Park in the north to Eaton Golf Club in the south-east. The valley of the River Yare separates it from its neighbour, Cringleford.
