Attractions near the North Norfolk Railway

Attractions immediately accessible from the Railway

1. Sheringham which is the location of our major station. The station is in the centre of this small town.

2. Holt, our western terminus. The station is on the outskirts of this award winning Georgian town, about a mile from the town centre. The Eastern Counties bus service X4 provides an hourly service to the town or, in the peak season, the Holt Flyer, a London Routemaster Bus, meets our Steam trains and will take you into the centre of the town. (This facility is not operated by the railway and an additional charge is payable.)

3. Sheringham Park and Weybourne Heath. The railway passes Sheringham Park and it is an enjoyable walk from Weybourne back to Sheringham through the Park. A guide to this walk and other walks in the Park is displayed at both stations. A leaflet covering these walks is for sale at the Sheringham Station Shop. The railway offers single tickets to facilitate this type of walk.

4. Kelling Heath. A renowned Norfolk moorland beauty spot. The flowers are a delight to see throughout the year. The yellow gorse of winter and spring merges with the bluebells and primroses of spring and summer. Later in the year the poppies and the mauve of the heathers are a visual delight. The railway has a halt at Kelling Heath (but note the train only stops there on request) from which a number of walks can be taken, including the Nature Trail. These walks are also easily accessible from Weybourne Station.

5. Coast Walk. Enjoy a gentle walk from Weybourne to Sheringham along the coastal path, a distance of some 3-4 miles.

6. The studio of the renowned local artist, Martin Sexton, is but a short stroll from Sheringham station. The gallery contains a large selection of original watercolour paintings, greetings cards and signed prints depicting East Anglian landscapes. It is always advisable to telephone before making your journey.

An alternative method of travel is Huff & Puff, cycle one way and let the 'train take the strain' on the uphill stretch back.
