We travel to the Knights Hill Hotel & Spa in Kings Lynn.

Experience 1

NORTH NORFOLK RAILWAY: Day to be confirmed nearer the time.
Unlike most other railways of the time, the Poppy Line was built to serve the eager tourist market, travelling via popular holiday spots, rather than to srve the community. This means today we are treated to the smart, Victorian seaside resort of Sheringham, the Georgian market town of Holt, and the pretty village and shingle beaches at Weybourne. Along the way are unrivalled views of this area of outstanding natural beauty.

Indulge in an insightful tour and tasting in a recently transformed 17th century warehouse, the rustic home of WhataHoot.

One of the finest Palladian Houses in this country. Built in the 1720's for Sir Robert Walpole, Britain's First Prime Minister. The Hall is currently the home of the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, Walpole's descendent, and his family. Situated in traditional parkland, Houghton is home to a spectacular herd of white fallow and other exotic deer.
