There are regular departures each day to Wroxham nine miles away, the capital of the Norfolk Broads, and home to 'Roy's' of Wroxham. the world's largest village store.

For a real treat why not combine a nostalgic journey by steam with a cruise on the beautiful Norfolk Broads.

Take the broadland Boat Train and include a one and a half hour cruise on the Broads, still leaving time to explore the shops and village of Wroxham before catching the train back to Aylsham.

See the Bure Valley Railway website for further details.

They were later flooded and were use by the Victorians for transporting heavy loads but nowadays they are here purely for pleasure and passengers are the boats’ main cargo.
