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.
