Wednesday morning and a relaxing start to the day before heading to the railway station at West Runton where we caught a Great Anglia train to Sheringham. Once at Sheringham, we bought ourselves a day rover pass each for the North Norfolk heritage railway line. It was a sunny spring day but with a cold breeze blowing off the North sea the temperatures struggled to hit double figures.

The steam train hauling the carriages today is “Hercules” which is a guest engine from the Dartmouth steam railway. We think that we have already seen this engine on the Paignton to Kingswear heritage route.

At the end of the line we arrived at the town of Holt. Holt is a lovely town with lot of alleys and yards with all kinds of high end shops. We spent a good hour there but could have stayed longer had time permitted.

The walk from the station is around 35 minutes into the ancient town of Holt and there are also regular buses.

Later in the afternoon we stopped at Weybourne station with the intention of grabbing a coffee before the final train journey back on a heritage DMU. Alas, the cafe was closed but one of the railway volunteers was kind enough to make me a cup of tea!

In the evening we had booked (essential) a table at the Village Inn at West Runton, a short walk away from the campsite and the pub was highly recommended by the site wardens.

We weren’t disappointed. Beef stew for Moe and Chicken skewers for Joe.
