A weekend in Wroxham with older parents

2 days For older parents & grandparents Built from visitor-rated places

♥ Save as my trip

This weekend is built around short hops rather than long days. Day one keeps everything within a few minutes' stroll. Start at Sheringham Museum at The Mo, which states disabled access. Then have lunch at Aloha, an ice cream stop with a 5/5 food hygiene rating, and finish at the Peter Coke Shell Gallery. Each stop is under a quarter of a mile from the last, so nobody needs to move the car until the day is done.

Day two asks for one longer drive: 39 miles to Lowestoft Maritime Museum, so it's worth an unhurried start. After that the distances shrink again. It's 4.6 miles to Somerleyton Cycles and Ice Cream Parlour (also 5/5 for hygiene, open from 09:00 Monday to Saturday and 10:00 on Sundays), then 4.5 miles to the Royal Naval Patrol Service Museum. Base yourselves on a Wroxham boat: Blenheim sleeps 4 and Brinks Rhapsody up to 8. Hoveton & Wroxham is the nearest station.

Day 1

Park once and walk: Aloha is under a quarter of a mile from Sheringham Museum at The Mo, and the Peter Coke Shell Gallery is under a quarter of a mile beyond that, so the day can be taken at whatever pace suits. The museum states disabled access, which makes it a sensible place to begin.

Day 2

The 39-mile drive to Lowestoft Maritime Museum is the weekend's one long leg, so allow for a comfort break if anyone would like one. Lunch at Somerleyton Cycles and Ice Cream Parlour is 4.6 miles on (it closes at 16:00 on Sundays), and the Royal Naval Patrol Service Museum is a further 4.5 miles.
