3 days in Wroxham with older parents
3 days For older parents & grandparents Built from visitor-rated places
Three unhurried days of small museums and good lunches, with Wroxham as your base. Day one keeps the driving short: Sutton Corn Mill first, then lunch at The Kings Arms just 5.2 miles away, and on 6.6 miles to the Museum of the Broads, which states disabled access. All three lunch stops, The Kings Arms, Ziggy’s tea rooms and The Canteen, hold a 5/5 food hygiene rating, so you can settle in for a proper sit-down meal each day.
Days two and three range further, but the longest drive comes first each morning: 21.6 miles to Wymondham Heritage Museum and 28.7 miles to Dunwich Museum. After that the stops draw closer, and on day three Southwold Railway Trust is only 0.5 miles from lunch. Stay aboard a Wroxham boating holiday, from Fair Marquess for two to Brinks Rhapsody for eight, or arrive by train at Hoveton & Wroxham, the nearest station.
