This lovely tour features a nine mile ride on the Bure Valley Railway, Norfolk's longest narrow gauge railway, through the pretty countryside from Aylsham to Wroxham - the 'Capital of the Broads'. There's free time in Wroxham before the afternoon cruise and you may wish to hunt out one of the local fish and chip shops or small cafés for a spot of lunch. You'll find shopping at Roys, which claims to be 'the largest village store in the world'. Finish the day on board a double-deck Mississippi Paddle Boat Steamer with an afternoon cruise on the lovely Norfolk Broads, sailing out of the pretty village of Horning, pass timeless thatched houses, ancient windmills and Norfolk reed beds. Inside you'll find a fully stocked bar (cash only) and be able to enjoy interesting commentary from the skipper.
