    Watton in Norfolk is perfectly safe. It’s quite a small town so doubt you’ll get many replies as it’s quite specific. I live about 30 miles from Watton but have only really been there a few times when passing through. Perfectly reasonable small town, not hugely exciting, but I can’t imagine it’s dangerous for a second.

    I had a colleague who lived there but is now retired. There was never any drama.
