If you have decided to travel to the city centre by bus go to the “Bell Road” bus stop and take Bus (11B) that goes to Norwich City Centre. And after 7 min (5 stops) get out at “Upper King Street” (Stop CP).
If you are taking a train it takes 25 minutes to walk to the train station with the great views of the riverside walk, or you can take the same bus route to the city centre and then walk straight through the Prince of Wales Road for 8 minutes to get tot he trains station.
However, Norfolk is a big area, with many things to see and do. To make the most of your trip, we always recommend guests hire their own transport to see all Norfolk has to offer.
