Bure Valley Railway

The Bure Valley Railway is Norfolk County’s longest distance fifteen gauge railway; it runs from Aylsham to Wroxham. Wroxham is known as the ‘Capital of the Norfolk Broads’ and passengers can visit the small stations at Brampton, Buxton, and Coltishall to get a taste of this wonderful area. The round trip on the railway travels through the Bure river valley and follows the course of the river though meadowland and pastures. The town of Aylsham, which is the headquarters of the railway, is a pleasant market town with some good shops.

There is a hiking trail that runs through the area and anyone who has started out at Wroxham or Aylsham can hop on the train and return to their point of origin. Cyclists are also welcome. The foot and cycle path run alongside the nine miles of laid track and they include additional pathways that branch out from the main one deeper into the countryside. Cycles that are taken aboard the railway will be charged an additional £3.00, space providing.

Roundtrip rates start at £7.00 per adult over 17, £6.50 for senior citizens, and £4.50 for children aged 5 through 16. Children under 5 ride for free and families are allowed to bring their dogs aboard for an additional fee. Round trip tickets allow the holder to travel on the railway all day for unlimited journeys. Groups of twenty or more can be accommodated with prior arrangements. Discounted fares can be found at the intermediate stations located at Brampton, Buxton, and Coltishall.
