Byway highlights in the East of England
Norwich
Cobbled streets and half-timbered houses are reminders of Norwich’s 17th-century heyday, when it was the UK’s second-richest city. Along with the hilltop castle and Romanesque cathedral, you'll discover flint-walled churches, many of them now used as galleries and performance spaces, fuelling Norwich’s art scene.
The North Norfolk Railway
From the Victorian seaside resort of Sherigham to the Georgian town of Holt, the North Norfolk Railway runs through the county's most stunning coastal scenery. Operated almost entirely by volunteers from all walks of life, the line is the East of England's premier heritage railway.
The Broads National Park
The Norfolk and Suffolk Broads are Britain's largest protected wetlands. Take to the waterways or soak up the history and wildlife on land. Either way, in the words of naturalist, Ted Ellis, the Broads truly is a "breathtaking space for the cure of souls".
