3 days in Wroxham with the kids

Three days out of Wroxham with the children works best when the drives stay manageable and the treats arrive at the right moment. Day 1 runs from Blickling Hall to lunch at The Foundry Arms, 7.8 miles away, then just 3.3 miles on to Felbrigg Hall. All three food stops on this plan, The Foundry Arms, The Tudor Bakehouse and Somerleyton Cycles and Ice Cream Parlour, hold a 5/5 food hygiene rating. Day 2 has the one longer haul: 33.1 miles to Mettingham Castle, with camels waiting at Oasis Camel Park in the afternoon.

The final day keeps things lively, from Pettitts Animal Adventure Park to ice cream and then Gorleston Splashpad, with both afternoon hops under 5 miles. Stay afloat on Brinks Quartet (sleeps 6) or Gala Girl (sleeps 3). Alternatively, base yourselves at Mark's Cottage in North Walsham, which sleeps 4 and sits 0.7 miles from North Walsham station, with Mundesley beach 4.1 miles away and its bathing water rated Excellent by the Environment Agency. Coming by train? Hoveton & Wroxham is the nearest station.

Day 1

Start at Blickling Hall, then drive 7.8 miles to The Foundry Arms (5/5 hygiene, open from 12:00 daily), so time the morning to arrive for lunch rather than before. Felbrigg Hall is only 3.3 miles further, which makes for a short, grumble-free hop in the afternoon.

Day 2

This is the longest drive of the trip, at 33.1 miles from Felbrigg Hall to Mettingham Castle, so pack car snacks and a few games. After that the stops come quickly: 7.1 miles to The Tudor Bakehouse (5/5 hygiene, Mon–Sat 07:00–16:00, so check your day falls Monday to Saturday) and then 4.9 miles to Oasis Camel Park.

Day 3

Pettitts Animal Adventure Park is 16.8 miles from Oasis Camel Park, then it's 4.9 miles to Somerleyton Cycles and Ice Cream Parlour (5/5 hygiene, Mon–Sat 09:00–17:00, Sun 10:00–16:00) for a lunchtime treat. Finish 4.7 miles away at Gorleston Splashpad, and bring towels and a change of clothes for the drive home.
