Norfolk Broads & Thursford steam museum

Staying at the George Hotel- Norwich

There are many pleasures in store for the visitor to Norwich.  With narrow winding streets, cobbled alleys, tilted medieval houses, museums, castle, cathedral and a fabulous shopping centre.  The George Hotel has been looking after us for a few years now, benefitting from a refurbishment, the hotel is very comfortable with delicious food and many ground floor bedrooms.

Our Itinerary

Day 1– Your door-to-door service will pick you up from your doorstep and bring you to the coach.  From here we travel southwards via the motorways to the A17 where we cross country into Norfolk and our hotel for the next 4 nights.  Appropriate refreshment stops will be made along the way and we hope to be at our hotel in plenty of time to settle in before dinner.

Day 2- Today is a free day to explore all that Norwich has to offer.  Firstly, this morning, our blue badge guide will join our coach and take us around this fabulous city before you are left to do as you wish.  Norwich has something for everyone. Enchanting cobbled streets and fascinating historical buildings, museums where you can wander and learn.  The fabulous shopping and the cathedral make this a perfect day out.

Day 3- A full day today as we drive first to the village of Wroxham famous for ROYS.  Most goods were delivered by train, addressed to “Roy Brothers, LNER Station, Wroxham” and telegrams also took their lead from the railway. This was the beginning of the Roys of Wroxham name.  Later we have an included broad’s trip on the Mississippi paddle boat.  There will be some time afterwards to explore Horning Village before returning to our hotel.

Day 4- A full day again today.  We make our way to the pretty village of Holt for time to peruse before we travel to the steam museum at Thursford and a backstage tour of the popular Christmas spectacular.

Day 5- Today after breakfast, we retrace our steps across country with suitable breaks to our home areas where your door-to-door service will return you to your doorstep.
