What is car parking like at either end of the line? Which is better?

We are thinking about getting the train to Aylsham and walking to Blickling Hall. It looks like it can be done but I'm just going off Google. Does anyone know if there is a route anywhere to download please

Could not find a designated route map to the Blinkling Estate, however simply take Norwich Road North from the train station to Blinkling Road. It is roughly two miles from the station to the entrance of the estate. Im not sure if there is a path, sidewalk or walkable trail other than the road. The other option is taking a local bus that stops at the entrance.
Hello, We will be boarding the train at Wroxham. I was wondering if there's any attractions, pubs/restaurants with play areas to visit with a 6yr old boy and a dog maybe in Aylsham or at any stops between Wroxham and Aylsham (if any)? It would be nice to spend some time somewhere and have a look around before heading back to Wroxham. Any suggestions? Jenna & Jacob x

Don’t think there is much en route to stop and see.
yes please are you able to take a mobility buggy on the train and can you get from the train to Wroxham broards and board the Mississippi paddle steamer

As both the respondents have said a mobility scooter is not a problem at all on the train. All we would say is that if it is one of the larger types then you must be able to manouver it yourself. If you know the day you are travelling we will happily reserve space in one of the carriages which accommodate wheelchairs and mobility scooters, otherwise they are very much a first come first served, but with priority always given to wheelchair and scooter users. The combined train and boat ticket operates with the boat operator in Wroxham, although we do also work with the Mississippi Boat at Horning. If you especially wish to use them, we would happily organise a taxi to Horning at your cost. Pre booking this is strongly advised as taxis in Wroxham are limited. At the railway stations the entire site is step free including access to the train and from the car parks.

Hi ScottieDo, Dogs are very welcome on the train and in all areas of the railway except in the café. If the weather is wet we do offer an indoor area where dogs are welcome and food can be served. We do make a charge for dogs of £3.50 for a return journey. Assistance dogs are free of charge. Best wishes Andrew Bure Valley Railway
