HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS

 

Norwich   |   Norfolk Tulips    |   Cromer   |   Blickling Estate

 

DAY ONE – Arrival

We depart from your home with our exclusive door-to-door pick-up service and travel to Norfolk, arriving at our hotel with time to relax before diner this evening.

 

DAY TWO – Norwich

Our adventure begins in the picturesque city of Norwich, where medieval architecture meets a modern, bustling atmosphere. You’ll have the chance to wander its quaint streets, enjoy its famous market, and soak in the charm of this beautiful city. There is plenty to see and do in Norwich including the Cathedral, the Castle Quarter, Royal Arcade, The Guildhall, England’s largest medieval city hall, and of course the famous Lanes. The Lanes are renowned for making friends of strangers: Strangers’ Hall has been home to mavericks and makers from around the world since the 14th century.

 

DAY THREE – Blickling Estate

Step back in time today at the magnificent Blickling Estate, a stunning Jacobean mansion surrounded by equally impressive gardens. Whether you’re exploring its striking interiors or its tranquil grounds, the estate offers a fascinating glimpse into history.

Thought to be the birthplace of Anne Boleyn, there is a lot to see, from the Long Gallery and Great Hall to the Brown Drawing Room, not to mention the 55 acres of formal garden, the result of three centuries of planting, with ancient yews, parterre, lake and productive walled kitchen garden.  There’s so much to see here that we spend most of the day.  We’ll then return to our hotel, via where you will have time to relax before dinner this evening.

 

DAY FOUR – Wroxham Miniature Worlds and Norfolk Tulips (or) Cromer

This morning, we will visit Wroxham Miniature Worlds, the largest indoor modelling attraction in the UK stretching over 10,000 square feet with some of the largest model railways in the world on permanent public display.

We spend some time here before we make our way to the Norfolk Tulip Farm where you can experience the magic of the Norfolk Tulips, a breathtaking sight as fields burst into life with colourful tulip blooms. This floral wonder is a true feast for the eyes and a photographer’s dream come true!

 

Open on selected days to the public each spring (for around 2 weeks or so) for the annual Tulips for Tapping event in collaboration with The Norfolk Hospice Tapping House. It’s a rare opportunity to walk in a tulip field in the UK, in fact, this is the only place in the country that you can do it.

Around half a million bulbs are planted to make a colourful and dramatic tulip display. You can buy some merchandise and your own bunch of tulips to take home. There are a few food vendors and toilets but essentially you are visiting the vast field and the colourful tulips. So, ensure you are appropriately dressed to visit a field! 

Please Note:  Day of visit may change. Just like flowers in your garden, they bloom at different times/dates each year, they are a natural growing crop which bloom when they are ready. Sun and rain affect the growing schedule along with other factors that are out of our control.

If an alternative is needed due to the tulips not being ready, we will visit the picturesque seaside town of Cromer, nestled along the stunning Norfolk coastline. With its rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant community.
