The North Norfolk Railway offers far more than just a train ride! Grab your tickets, watch the guard wave his green flag, listen for the sound of the whistle and a whoosh of steam as you set off on a timeless journey through some of Norfolk’s most stunning coastal scenery and beautiful countryside.

Lovingly-restored steam trains transport passengers on an 11 mile return journey between the delightful Victorian resort of Sheringham and the smart Georgian town of Holt. Make a day of it with our great value rover tickets that are valid for unlimited travel allowing you to hop on and off all day! We recommend booking in advance and passengers doing so receive a generous discount on their fares.

The heritage railway is fondly known as the ‘Poppy Line’ after the 19th Century poet and theatre critic Clement Scott coined the term “Poppyland” referring to the unspoilt coastal area around Sheringham where poppies grow in abundance.

Visit over the Easter Bank Holiday Weekend and you can see and travel on three contrasting historic trains. Amongst the locomotives scheduled to be in action is 92203 “Black Prince” a mammoth 2-10-0 built by British Railways in 1959 to pull the heaviest goods trains and Y14 No 564, the railway’s oldest working steam engine. The loco dates from 1912 having been built at Stratford for the Great Eastern Railway and has spent almost her whole life in East Anglia.
