Whispers of Norfolk

Whispers of Norfolk
Discover the gentle rhythm of life in Norfolk, where colourful
Georgian towns, sweeping beaches, peaceful broads, and
wildlife encounters await. This relaxing tour showcases some of
the region’s most picturesque highlights, from seal-watching
boat trips and historic cities to paddle steamer cruises and wildlife gardens

Holiday Highlights

We begin with a scenic drive through the rural Norfolk countryside, heading
north to the delightful town of Holt. This charming Georgian town, with its
colour-washed buildings, antique shops, and galleries, offers a timeless
English feel. From here, we continue to the coast at Blakeney, renowned for
its large seal colonies. At Morston Quay, we board a boat for a 1-hour
cruise to Blakeney Point, where you can view the seals up close in their
natural habitat. (Please note: all sailings are subject to tide and weather conditions
and may require adjustment.) Later, we head to the lovely harbour town of Wells-next-the-Sea.
Enjoy time at leisure to browse the independent shops, stroll along the
waterfront, or enjoy a relaxed lunch in one of the many cafés. The next day,
we venture into Norwich, a vibrant cathedral city blending medieval charm
with modern energy. You’ll have time to explore at your own pace, visit the
magnificent Norwich Cathedral, wander the historic Elm Hill district, or
indulge in a bit of retail therapy in the city’s eclectic mix of boutiques and
markets. In the afternoon, we travel to Horning on the Norfolk Broads to
board the Mississippi Paddle Steamer, Southern Comfort. Sit back and relax
as we gently cruise through a tranquil landscape of rivers and lakes. Our
final day begins with a visit to Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens, a conservation-focused
park set within the grounds of a historic hall. Here, you'll find a unique collection
of animals including Red Pandas, Sumatran Tigers, and Snow Leopards.
We then make our way to the coastal village of Caister-onSea. With its wide sandy beach, friendly cafés, and small local shops.
