We then return to our hotel mid-afternoon. Dinner in the hotel.

This morning we travel the short distance into Norwich city centre, we have a guided tour to discover more about this medieval city, its history and heritage. The rest of the day will be free for you to explore at your leisure. We return to Dunston Hall for dinner.

Day 4

Today we head to the Victorian seaside resort of Sheringham to board the North Norfolk Railway for a return, 5.5-mile journey to the Georgian town of Holt. Sit back and absorb the views as our steam train chugs through the county's stunning scenery. After arriving in Holt, we make our way north to Holkham Hall, set like a jewel in one of England's greatest agricultural estates. This imposing, 18th-century Palladian house is home to the Earls of Leicester, and consists of a glorious Marble Hall, state rooms and art galleries. We spend time exploring the house and its gorgeous walled garden. Final dinner at the hotel.
