Explore Downham Market
Known for
The Clock Tower (a cast iron Victorian clock tower, one of the finest in England), the Fen country setting, Denver Sluice (the engineering marvel that drained the Fens), and a small Norfolk market town at the heart of the Fens
A little history
Downham Market's elegant cast iron clock tower — built in 1878 — is one of the finest in England. Denver Sluice, just outside the town, is the key structure that controls the drainage of the Fens — one of England's great engineering systems dating back to Cornelius Vermuyden's 17th century drainage works.
The Clock Tower in the market place is excellent. Denver Sluice for the extraordinary Fen drainage story. The Friday market for local Norfolk produce. The Fen cycling routes from Downham Market are flat and beautiful.
