Day One
Our outward journey takes us via the motorway network to the outskirts of Norwich where we commence our stay at the Dunston Hall Hotel.
DDay Two
Enjoy a morning guided tour of Norwich, the most complete medieval city in Britain. Our tour will take in views of the castle, cathedral and various other sights as we learn about the city’s fascinating history. The afternoon is free to explore, perhaps visit the magnificent Norman cathedral, boasting the largest cloisters in England, the second tallest spire in the country. Much of the original city wall can still be seen along with merchant houses and quaint cobblestone lanes with half-timbered buildings.
B, DDay Three
This morning we drive to historic Aylsham with its Georgian market place and numerous listed buildings. From here we take our seats on the Bure Valley Railway and commence a nine mile trip through picturesque countryside and quaint villages to arrive in Wroxham, the capital of The Norfolk Broads. We then take to the water for a cruise on the delightful Norfolk Broads, a network of rivers and channels which combine to create a unique area of waterways.
B, DDay Four
Today we have an included visit to the Sandringham Estate, the country retreat which was much-loved by Queen Elizabeth II. The house is set in some 24 hectares of stunning gardens and is probably the most famous stately home in Norfolk. With knowledgeable guides in every room of the house, a museum housing extraordinary collections of Royal vehicles, rare ceramics, photographs and memorabilia, there is plenty to see and enjoy.
