3 days in Wroxham with the dog
3 days For dog owners Built from visitor-rated places
Three days based around Wroxham take you from the Broads to the Suffolk coast and into the quiet airfield country beyond. Day one pairs Africa Alive with lunch at The Canteen, a tea room with a 5/5 food hygiene rating just 5.8 miles away, before Lowestoft Museum. Days two and three follow the wartime story of the American bomb groups, with the 95th's Memorial Hospital and Red Feather Club only 0.6 miles apart. Arriving by train? Hoveton & Wroxham is the nearest station.
For dogs, the clearest welcome is at The 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum, which lists dogs as welcome, and at Whispering Reeds in Horning (sleeps 6) and Two Mills, both pet friendly. The other stops and stays don't state a dog policy, so ring ahead, especially for the wildlife park. Pack a lead and water. Mundesley beach, rated Excellent for bathing water, is 3.9 miles from The Lighthouse Inn and makes a good walk, but check any seasonal dog rules first.

Day 1
Start at Africa Alive, checking its dog policy before you set off. Then it's 5.8 miles to The Canteen for lunch (5/5 hygiene rating) and 10.1 miles on to Lowestoft Museum, so keep a lead and water bowl in the car for breaks.
Day 2
A longer 21.7-mile drive takes you to The 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum, where dogs are listed as welcome. It's then just 4.7 miles to the 95th Bomb Group Memorial Hospital, so check ahead on dogs there and allow time for a leg-stretch on the lead between visits.
Day 3
The 95th Bomb Group Red Feather Club is only 0.6 miles from the Memorial Hospital, followed by 6.5 miles to Laxfield Museum, which states disabled access. Neither lists a dog policy, so call ahead and carry water for the drive.
