Downham Market is a picturesque town on the banks of the River Great Ouse. Known as ‘Gingerbread Town’ due to the prevalence of local carrstone, it is one of Norfolk’s oldest market towns. Retaining an intimate feel, the town has many historic buildings, boutiques, antique shops, lots of places to eat and drink and some accommodation. Every Friday and Saturday, there is a bustling market.

Downham Market Town Clock

Highlight • Historical Site

The Town Clock is a loved landmark at the heart of Downham Market. The cast iron octagonal clock tower, which has four faces and a pyramidal top, was made in 1878. Several plaques on it read 'Presented to the Town by James Scott 1878'. The tower has been restored many times over the years and is now lit with bright colours at night time.
