Kings College
One of Cambridge’s most iconic buildings, the grand gothic chapel of King’s College forms part of the historic Cambridge University. The best way to soak up the beauty of choral song or classical music is with a concert, or one of the daily evensong services.
Punting
Punts are traditional flat-bottomed boats that are propelled and steered with a long pole, historically used for angling. Today they’re an iconic part of Cambridge life; dozens can be seen cruising along the river on sunny days, with visitors using them as a way to get some exercise in a very English way!
Sandringham Estate
The charming Sandringham House is a warm and welcoming country house, open to the public from April to October. This delightful country retreat is situated in the heart of 60 acres of beautiful wooded gardens, and is still maintained in the style of Edward and Alexandra, the Prince and Princess of Wales (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra).
To get to Sandringham Estate, it is a 45 minute train journey to King’s Lynn. From here, the King’s Lynn bus station is a 3 minute walk. The hourly number 11 Stagecoach bus goes to Sandringham.
Norwich Castle
Built as a Norman royal palace almost a thousand years ago, Norwich Castle is today a fascinating museum, full of fine art, archaeology and military exhibits. It’s an easy walk from the station, and definitely worth a visit.
Norfolk Broads
The Norfolk Broads is one of Britain’s national parks. It’s a network of rivers and lakes that criss-cross the beautiful open landscapes of Norfolk, famous for their iconic traditional windmills. The best way to explore is on a boat tour, or by hiring a boat to fully appreciate this tranquil setting. The train from Norwich to Hoveton & Wroxham takes just 13 minutes, followed by an 8 minute walk to the boat tour office.
