It welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors a year to its two Shrines, the Anglican one in the village and the Roman Catholic Basilica a mile or so outside. The site of the original Priory Shrine is in the grounds of what’s now called Walsingham Abbey, 50 yards from the Old Bakehouse front door. Walsingham is nonetheless a peaceful and beautiful place; many people come here from a non-Christian background to be blessed by the prayerful atmosphere and enjoy the medieval backdrop. Parking is 4 pounds a day or 20 pounds a week in the car park 200 yards up the road. You can generally park outside the Bakehouse overnight from 530pm until 930am. Walsingham is ideal for walking around, with 2 pubs in the village, the Bull and the Black Lion. Victorious cafe and restaurant is under 10 mins walk away. The Catholic Shrine is about a 30 minute walk away, up the Pilgrim Way or the Holy Mile. Epiphany cafe has newly opened 3 doors down from the Old Bakehouse. We have a Jack Russell Terrier. Good with children but if need be we can keep her in a separate part of the house if she doesn’t get on with your dog. There is access to a small gravel yard for a late night dog excursion. There is also a small lawn in a separate garden if required.
