NORWICH & NORFOLK BROADS
Welcome to Norfolk:
A refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of busy Britain. Around every corner you will find pretty villages and historic churches, miles and miles of unspoilt beaches, countryside and rivers teeming with wildlife and relaxed towns and a city with wonderful shops and tempting cafes.
The 3* Brook Hotel, Norwich
The Brook Hotel (formerly the Quality Hotel), is now privately owned and prides itself on both good food and excellent service. Under new management from January 2010, this 3 star hotel is already reflecting impressive changes in terms of quality, service and facilities. The modern bedrooms, located over 2 floors, provide relaxed and contemporary accommodation, and offer all the amenities you would expect of a 3* hotel.
Included excursions:
1. THE MAGIC OF THE NORFOLK BROADS
Today we explore the outstanding beauty of the Norfolk Broads. Our first visit is to the lively town of Wroxham, known as 'The Capital of the Norfolk Broads'. Here you will find an abundance of shops, cafes, and restaurants. Our next port of call is at the delightful village of Horning, with its charming little church, waterside pubs, restaurants, shops, and tea rooms. From here we will take an inclusive cruise along the waters of the broads onboard the 'Mississippi Paddleboat'. This luxury double deck river cruiser takes you along the River Bure through the village and out to Ranyard Broad and back, passing lovely old thatched houses, windmills, and Norfolk reed beds. There is a lively and interesting commentary throughout your cruise. Our final visit takes us via Potter Heigham, one of the major boating centres on the Norfolk Broads, to the entrance of the Broads National Park (in Suffolk) at Oulton Broad. This is a 'must visit' place, but in addition to the usual gift shops etc. it has breathtaking wildlife reserves, and a spectacular stretch of inland water.
2. BRESSINGHAM GARDENS & STEAM RAILWAY
Our journey today takes us to the very popular Bressingham Gardens. Entrance to the Museum and a ride on the Steam Railway is also included. Bressingham is also the official home to the Dad's Army Appreciation Society, and the exhibition comprises a recreation of Walmington on Sea, the fictional home to Captain Mainwaring and his men.
