See several of Norfolk’s finest stately homes, hear a talk from royal historian Lucy and stay at a cosy four-star hotel

With its spectacular coastline, serene rivers and fields dotted with crimson-red poppies, Norfolk is the perfect rural escape where life seems to move at a slower pace. It's not hard to see why the Royals come here to unwind.

Adding to Norfolk's appeal are the enchanting heritage railways which glide through the countryside. Experience two of these charming lines on this special five-day tour; the scenic Bure Valley Railway and the North Norfolk Railway, affectionately known as the Poppy Line.

Making the visit even more inviting is the company of historian Lucy Worsely, who'll give an exclusive talk and Q&A sharing insights from her work as a royal biographer. Lucy will also join you on a visit to Sandringham Palace, the Royals' country retreat.

Your visit to Sandringham is sure to be a highlight of your getaway. The Royal Family's famous country house is a joy to explore. You'll wander through the grand house and formal gardens with Lucy before enjoying a seasonal Afternoon Tea with a glass of Prosecco, served in the elegant restaurant.

Other visits on this tour include Blickling Estate, a Jacobean mansion thought to be the birthplace of Anne Boleyn, Felbrigg Hall, one of the most elegant country houses in East Anglia, and Holkham Hall, an 18th-century Palladian-style house.

You'll be staying at the delightful Park Farm Hotel in Norwich. This is a wonderful rural bolthole, set in 200 acres of heavenly Norfolk countryside and with its own beautifully landscaped gardens to enjoy.
