Explore several of Norfolk’s finest stately homes, enjoy a talk from royal historian Lucy and stay at a cosy four-star hotel
Norfolk is the perfect rural escape where life seems to move at
a slower pace. With its spectacular coastline, serene rivers and
fields dotted with crimson-red poppies, it's not hard to see why
Norfolk became a popular place for the Royals to come to
unwind.
On this special five-day tour, you'll have the opportunity to
ride on some of Norfolk's most enchanting heritage railways which
glide through the scenic beauty of the countryside. Experience two
of these charming lines and ride the scenic Bure Valley Railway and
the North Norfolk Railway, affectionately known as the Poppy
Line.
Making the visit even more special is the company of esteemed
historian Lucy Worsely, who'll join you on a visit to Sandringham
Palace and give an exclusive talk and Q&A sharing insights from
her work as a royal biographer.
The Royal Family's country house retreat is a joy to explore and
is sure to be the highlight of your trip. You'll wander through the
grand halls and elegantly appointed rooms of the grand house and
formal manicured gardens with Lucy before enjoying a seasonal
Afternoon Tea with a glass of Prosecco, served in the elegant
restaurant.
Other visits on this tour include Blickling Estate, a Jacobean
mansion thought to be the birthplace of Anne Boleyn, Felbrigg Hall,
one of the most elegant country houses in East Anglia, and Holkham
Hall, an 18th-century Palladian-style house.
You'll be staying at the delightful Park Farm Hotel in Norwich.
This is a wonderful rural bolthole, set in 200 acres of heavenly
Norfolk countryside and with its own beautifully landscaped gardens
to enjoy.
