You’ll also dine at Delia’s Restaurant and Bar in Norwich.

But this is just the start of your Norfolk adventure. You’ll enjoy a ride on the Bure Valley Railway, a trip on a paddle-steamer on the Broads, and take a tour of historic Blickling Hall. You’ll visit North Norfolk’s coastal towns and villages, including Burnham Market, as well as touring Norwich itself.
