The centre of the village is ¾ miles south of the A148 King's Lynn to Cromer road with Sandy Lane and Beechwood Avenue north of it.

In the Domesday survey fractions[4] were used to indicate that the entry, in this case a church, was on an estate that lay within more than one parish.

One mile south of the village on Church Road, at a small junction of the Lower Gresham to Metton lane, is an ancient cross which has been restored.

These known locally as the 'Shrieking Pits', because of their reputation for being haunted by the ghost of a Stone Age woman.

[6] Aylmerton has two War Memorials, a plaque inside St. John the Baptist Church and a stone cross in the churchyard.
