Assessor comments
"Take a trip into the past at this beautiful volunteer-run railway."
Overview
Running from Holt to Sheringham, the North Norfolk Railway continues the tradition of rail that began in 1844 when the passenger railway first opened. Today a group of passionate volunteers run a number of beautifully preserved engines up and down the line, but you don't have to just be a passenger. A number of experiences are available where you can work the signals or even drive the train.

About the area
The North Norfolk Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and probably the finest of its kind in Europe. Here you’ll find a string of quaint villages and small towns – Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea and Cley next the Sea are 21st-century favourites, while Sheringham and Cromer are classic examples of a good old-fashioned seaside resort where grand Victorian hotels look out to sea.
