The membership trap
Watton sits in Breckland district, and Breckland's leisure contract is held by Parkwood Leisure, which runs Dereham, Thetford, Swaffham and Attleborough. Watton's centre is not one of them. Watton Sports and Social Centre is run by the Watton Sports Association and Social Club, explicitly outside that contract.
So do not assume a Breckland leisure membership works in Watton, and do not assume a Watton membership travels the other way. Ask both, in writing if you are paying annually. It is the kind of thing a scraped listing will never tell you.

Norfolk
A growing town on the Lynn to Norwich axis
Watton has 11,543 residents, up 29% on 2011, which is the sharpest growth of any town covered here. It sits about 22 miles west of Norwich and 22 south east of King's Lynn, near RAF Marham's catchment, and it is named among Norfolk's more deprived market towns. Roughly equidistant from both the county's main centres, which in practice means a 40 minute round trip to either.

Families, and free
Watton is unusually well set up for children: two ninja and climbing venues, two ju jitsu clubs with serious review volume and a community sports centre at the middle of it. If you are buying for a family rather than yourself, price the club fees before the memberships.
Loch Neaton parkrun is in the town and is one of Norfolk's 23 free adult 5k events, with Dereham, Swaffham and Thetford the nearest others.
