5 days in Wroxham
5 days For everyone Built from visitor-rated places
Five days from Wroxham mix a theme-park morning at BeWILDerwood with a run of small museums, from the RAF Air Defence Radar Museum to the Royal Naval Patrol Service Museum. Most days keep their stops close together. On day 2, Aloha and the Peter Coke Shell Gallery are under a quarter of a mile apart, and every lunch stop on the plan holds a 5/5 food hygiene rating. Day 4 has the second-longest drive, at 38.1 miles, but both of that day's museums state disabled access and sit a short walk apart.
For a base, Brinks Quartet (sleeps 6) and Gala Girl (sleeps 3) are boating holidays in Wroxham itself. Mark's Cottage in North Walsham sleeps 4 and is 0.7 miles from North Walsham station. It is also 4.1 miles from Mundesley beach, whose bathing water is rated Excellent by the Environment Agency. If you're arriving by train, Hoveton & Wroxham is the nearest station.
