AYLSHAM is proving a magnet for visitng groups from overseas.
The town's cittaslow status has prompted a visit by a fact-finding delegation from South Korea as the only UK stop-off on a tour of European “slow food” towns.
The 20 representatives were from four Korean towns which are part of the international Cittaslow movement celebrating quality of local life, including culture heritage and produce.
The visitors from Shina, Wano, Jangheung and Damyang were shown around Aylsham where they had a tour of the church and the town hall.
