Wroxham, Norfolk

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The capital of the Broads, Wroxham is a busy, bustling village located at the south west corner of the Norfolk Broads National Park. There is a huge village shop known as Roys of Wroxham located near the low bridge across the River Bure. Roys claims top be the largest village store in the world, and once you see the size of it, you won't be inclined to argue! This is possibly the busiest boating centre in the Broads, and all manner of watercraft can be hired in Wroxham for short or long excursions. A steam railway known as the Bure Valley Railway leads from Wroxham to Aylsham, a distance of 9 miles.

The historic church of St Mary is located away from the bust area around the bridge, and seems to carry an aura of timeless peace. The south door is wonderful Norman work, and there is also a memorial to the Trafford family, built by Anthony Salvin. Near the church is Hoveton Hall Gardens, 15 acres of splendid formal and informal gardens set about an early 19th century manor (not open to the public) and giving colour throughout most of the year.
