A weekend in Wroxham with the kids
2 days For families Built from visitor-rated places
This weekend is built around short hops, so little legs and patience aren't stretched too far. Day one stays close together: a morning at Sheringham Park, then just 1.9 miles to Aloha for an ice cream stop with a 5/5 food hygiene rating, and 3.3 miles on to Felbrigg Hall for the afternoon. Day two has the one longer drive, 19.5 miles to the Norfolk Broads, followed by lunch at The Terrace tea rooms (also rated 5/5 for hygiene) and an afternoon at BeWILDerwood, 6.6 miles away.
For a base, Brinks Quartet is a Wroxham boating holiday that sleeps 6. Mark's Cottage in North Walsham sleeps 4, sits 0.7 miles from North Walsham station and is 4.1 miles from Mundesley beach, whose bathing water is rated Excellent by the Environment Agency. If you're arriving by train, the nearest station to Wroxham is Hoveton & Wroxham.

Day 1
An easy, low-driving day. It's only 1.9 miles from Sheringham Park to Aloha for a 5/5-rated ice cream stop, then 3.3 miles on to Felbrigg Hall, so there's barely time for anyone to ask 'are we nearly there yet?'
Day 2
Allow for the longest leg of the trip, 19.5 miles to the Norfolk Broads, then 3.8 miles to The Terrace and 6.6 miles on to BeWILDerwood. The Terrace only opens Monday to Friday (08:00–15:30), so if your weekend falls on a Saturday or Sunday, pack a picnic lunch instead.
