Holiday home location

Nestled in the mid-Norfolk countryside, just alongside The Marriott’s Way and just 1 mile from the Georgian town of Reepham, Whitwell and Reepham Railway has been lovingly restored to its former glory. Re-opened in 2009, nearly 50 years after it was closed to passengers. The Railway is now a wonderful place for both locals and tourists to visit. Why not bring a bike and take a ride along The Marriott’s Way, before settling in the café for a cuppa and a slice of cake? Or explore the museum and station, then enjoy a pint in the sunny garden? And at the weekends, no visit would be complete without a ride up and down the track on one of the treasured trains. For the children, there is a play area conveniently located next to the Station facilities. A fabulous array of events throughout the year, including the ever-popular Steam Rallies. You are just a mile from the beautiful town of Reepham. The historic city of Norwich is less than a 30 minute drive away. The famous Norfolk coast is less than 40 minutes away.
