Locally:
Being in the middle of the Norfolk countryside has its perks… foodies can flock to the market town of Aylsham (10 minutes’ drive) beside the River Bure for lush local produce and ‘slow food’ concept eateries. Blickling Hall (15 minutes), a Jacobean stately home, is easily combined into one trip.
From Aylsham, there’s a footpath to Wroxham (20 minutes). There, board the Bure Valley Railway for a steam train journey back to Buxton (by your new base).
Towards the Norfolk coast and right on the edge of The Broads, Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens (40 minutes) has a small zoo or, for adventurous types, a treetop adventure course.
But of course, those Broads and the gorgeous Norfolk coast must somehow feature in your itinerary. The seaside at Mundesley (25 minutes) was just as popular in the Victorian era as it is now. Wroxham (20 minutes), set on the River Yare, has a riverside park and boats available for hire.
