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.<\/p>\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk from the station is around 35 minutes into the ancient town of Holt and there are also regular buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We weren’t disappointed. Beef stew for Moe and Chicken skewers for Joe.<\/p>\n\n\n
