Day 3

Day at leisure or Cromer

Relax in Great Yarmouth or join our optional excursion to Cromer, the ‘Gem of the Norfolk Coast’. Once a small fishing village and now a traditional seaside resort. Stroll down its Victorian pier, which has withstood many storms and even an attempt to blow it up by the Government in WWII to prevent it being used as a landing strip for enemy invaders! Why not sample the famous Cromer crab, a local delicacy? You can also discover the town’s maritime history at the Lifeboat Museum and Cromer Museum.

Included Meals : Breakfast and Dinner

Optional Excursions : Cromer

The optional excursions will be available to book during your tour. Prices are per person and are subject to change. Payment will be in sterling (cash payments only).

Day 4

Norwich

This morning we visit 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. Norwich is the most complete medieval city in the UK, the only city in a National Park, and was England’s first UNESCO City of Literature. It is of course also famous for Alan Partridge, Steve Coogan’s comedic character presenting Radio Norwich. There is also Norwich Market, open six days a week, as well as two shopping centres and four department stores.

Included Meals : Breakfast and Dinner       Included Highlights :  Norwich

Single Room Supplement from £49.00 (5 days).

The Thursford Christmas Spectacular performance will usually be in the afternoon, but may be an evening performance in which case dinner will not be included at the hotel and instead you will have a packed lunch on this day.
