The Norfolk Poppy Line Railway

The North Norfolk Railway offers a 10.5 mile round steam or vintage diesel train ride through one of Norfolk's Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You can explore several destinations en route from Holt (a delightful Georgian town), via Kelling Heath (with wooded & heathland walks), through to Weybourne on the North Norfolk coast and eventually to Sheringham, a small seaside town with a beautiful wooded park. The stations offer museums, buffets, a children's activity carriage and souvenir shops. The best way to travel is a 'rover ticket' to cover the whole day. Wild flowers in the rural landscape can be seen from the train most of the year but poppies in the summer gave the line its name - The Poppy Line!
