Two nights dinner bed & breakfast
On the outskirts of Norwich, just a short drive from the city centre. Bedrooms are over two levels, including the ground floor. Facilities include The Brasserie; The Club Bar; and WiFi. There is no lift, ground floor rooms available on request and subject to availability.
THURSDAY On our outward journey we make our way to Holkham Hall, set amongst a stunning coastal backdrop and rolling parkland. The magnificent eighteenth-century Palladian style mansion offers superb collections of ancient statuary, original furniture, tapestries and paintings by Rubens, Van Dyck, Gaspar Poussin and Gainsborough. From here we continue to the hotel for our two night stay.
FRIDAY We make our way to the beautiful village of Horning to enjoy a journey along the River Bure aboard luxury paddle boat ‘Southern Comfort’. Enjoy the informative on-board commentary during our 90 minute cruise, as we pass by thatched houses and windmills, spotting yachts and river wildlife along the way. We then enjoy an afternoon at leisure in Norwich to explore this city of heritage and culture, with its ancient and beautiful buildings lining the narrow cobbled streets and lanes.
SATURDAY Our first stop today is the vibrant traditional seaside town of Sheringham for some free time, before boarding the North Norfolk Railway and journeying through glorious countryside to Holt, an attractive Georgian town. We then have some time at leisure here, before joining the coach in the afternoon and commencing our journey home
