Eastbound A47, Sign for Swaffham's Eco-Centre
Swaffham is notable for the presence of two large Enercon E-66 wind turbines, and the associated Green Britain Centre, formerly known as the Ecotech Centre. The Green Britain Centre's displays focus on green energy (including solar and wind power), transportation options without oil, and organic gardening. The EcoTech Visitors Centre is one of the largest timber framed ecobuildings in the country. The Centre sits in eight acres of award winning gardens, home to a community heritage orchard, wildflower meadows and organic vegetable gardens, all open for the public to explore.

The A47 Road :: TF7809

The A47 is a key trunk road connecting Great Yarmouth, on the east coast of Norfolk, to the city of Birmingham in the West Midlands; a distance of 182 miles. However, most of the 17-mile-long section between Nuneaton and Castle Bromwich which was part of the original route has now been reclassified as the B4114.

The A47 is partly a holiday road, through West Midlands, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Cambridgeshire, and Norfolk, since it ends in Great Yarmouth, a tourist destination with a beach. On the way it passes the city of Norwich and the Norfolk Broads, both popular tourist destinations in their own right. Its other main function is the transport of goods by road to and from the A1 into Norfolk, North Suffolk and the ports at Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
