Diss, in Norfolk, had a population of around 8,000 at the 2021 census — a small market town built around an unusual centrepiece: a natural lake right in the middle of it.
A mere at the heart of town
Diss's name is generally linked to the Old English for a ditch or standing water, and its most distinctive feature is the Mere, a roughly six-acre natural lake in the town centre, fed by springs, with streets and historic buildings arranged around its edge. Diss has held a market for centuries, and its market place, timber-framed buildings and parish church sit just a short walk from the water — a layout that's unusual among English market towns, most of which grew up around a market square rather than a lake.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Diss's market-town charm doesn't come with a dedicated bulk sweet shop — there's nowhere locally set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines at scale.
Why Diss shoppers order online anyway
For anything beyond a small bag from a local shop, ordering online is simpler than a trip into Norwich or Ipswich — and it's delivered to the door either way.
