We are excited about an opportunity to explore East Anglia from a nice home base in Norwich (3 weeks) before we move on to Cornwall for 2 more weeks. I’ll do a separate post for our Cornwall base later.
We will have a car available to us but will take local busses and trains whenever we can. If you have any knowledge of the 5+ bus companies and/or the main train lines that serve this region please give us some tips.
We plan to visit several nearby market towns and go as far as Cambridge for day trips. We know there are a few coastal towns reachable by train and bus and to avoid Greater Yarmouth. I searched through old posts and found that warning about its tackiness. If you have other charming towns within 2 hours to recommend for day trips please add.
We love history, architecture, science, literature, easy walks and authentic pubs. We are very excited that the Norwich and Norfolk Festival will be taking place while we are there to give us places to walk to for food and entertainment when we aren’t out exploring.
Our whole trip will probably look like Norwich, Wadebridge in Cornwall then a few days in London before we fly home.
Thanks for any recommendations you may have.
