Today you have a real treat with a train ride on the Bure Valley Railway as well as a cruise on the Norfolk Broads.
You experience a nostalgic trip by steam on Norfolk’s longest narrow-gauge railway which runs between the historic market town of Aylsham and bustling town of Wroxham, at the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The line runs through the pretty Bure Valley countryside following the meandering River Bure through meadowland and ancient pasture.
In the afternoon we take a trip on the Southern Comfort Paddle Steamer from the beautiful village of Horning, out to Ranworth Broad and back.

Today we have the day to explore Norwich. There is plenty to see and do in Norwich including the Cathedral, the Castle Quarter, Royal Arcade, The Guildhall, England’s largest medieval city hall, and of course the famous Lanes.
