Experience a nostalgic trip by steam on Norfolk’s longest narrow gauge railway which runs between the historic market town of Aylsham and the bustling town of Wroxham, at the heart of the Norfolk Broads. Originally built on the trackbed of the former Great Eastern Railway, the line opened in 1880 and survived for passenger travel until 1952 and closed until it was reopened as a tourist attraction in 1990.
We then explore the Norfolk Broads with a cruise passing the picturesque villages and windmills that dot this wetland. Our vessel is the Southern Comfort, a double-decked paddle boat, purpose built for cruising the Broads. Admire the view from the top deck, or relax in the plush interiors below deck and enjoy the informative commentary as we sail!

Relax in seaside Great Yarmouth with a day at leisure to perhaps visit the Victorian piers, sit an watch the world go by on the promenade, or explore the popular town centre.
Alternatively, join our optional trip to historic Norwich where, in this truly English city, it is still a pleasure to wander among the medieval streets, particularly cobbled Elm Hill, which is full of character. There is an abundance of historically and architecturally rich buildings, that span 1000 years of the city's history, from the Norman Cathedral, to the historic walls and Plantation Garden

The itinery was great. Norfolk is a lovely scenic place to visit. Train/boat activities very enjoyable. Coach driver courteous and very helpful. Hotel...a let down, food was eatable but mealtimes very regimented. Hotel very much in need of improvement. Shower went from freezing to scalding hot without warning. No lifts. Meet n greet staff surley. Few of the dining room staff looked like they enjoyed their work. Yarmouth - a dump!

The tour was good but the food in the hotel left a lot to be desired. Several people on their first Shearings trip said that they would not use Shearings again because of the Hotel. This was my 15th Shearings trip and i intend to come again but thee food must not be like this trip
