Royal Norfolk Coast & Country

Day 1

After our departure, we visit Spalding, a Lincolnshire market town, before continuing to our hotel.

Day 2

Today's first stop is Snettisham Park, a three-hundred-acre working farm. Our visit includes a spectacular wildlife safari for an encounter with the magnificent free-roaming red deer herd. You'll have the opportunity to get up close and personal with these majestic creatures, and you might even get to feed them! From here, we continue onto Sandringham, the much-loved country retreat of the Royal Family. Your admission into this stunning estate includes access to the house, which consists of a complete multimedia tour, magnificent gardens, and the transport museum.

Day 3

This morning, we travel to the elegant resort of Hunstanton or 'Hunston' as it's known locally. Renowned for its unique striped cliffs and magnificent sunsets, this seaside town is a purpose-built resort and has retained its splendid Victorian charm and character. From the excellent beach to the tranquil retreat of the Esplanade Gardens, there's something for everyone to enjoy! We return to the hotel for an afternoon at leisure; why not treat yourself to afternoon tea on the garden terrace or enjoy use of the hotel's onsite leisure facilities? Alternatively, you can make your own way to Castle Rising Castle, one of the most famous twelfth-century castles in England, just a short ten-minute taxi ride away.

Day 4

We enjoy a leisurely morning at our spa hotel before an afternoon excursion to Burnham Market. Regarded as the area's loveliest village, Burnham Market is a popular haunt of the rich and royalty, as evidenced by the "By Royal Appointment" signs above many of the local independent shops.

Day 5

Our final full-day excursion involves a visit to Wells-next-the-Sea, one of the loveliest seaside towns on the North Norfolk Coast with a rich fishing history. After time to explore chic shops, eateries and art galleries, we board the Wells & Walsingham Light Railway, the world’s smallest public railway for a nostalgic journey through the beautiful countryside to Walsingham. One of the most extraordinary villages in the British Isles, Walsingham is steeped in history with its collection of rare half-timbered medieval buildings. We enjoy free time to explore this beautiful location, considered a site of holy pilgrimage for over a century and home to both a ruined priory and the Holy House.

Day 6

This morning, we pay a short visit to Norfolk Lavender, home to a famous farm shop and Lavender distillery before we return home.
