About

Stretching 5 miles from the seaside town of Sheringham to the Georgian town of Holt, the North Norfolk Railway is one of the UK's most scenic heritage lines. It offers spectacular views of the North Norfolk coast and the undulating 'Poppy Line' countryside, with three beautifully restored Victorian and Edwardian stations.

Heritage

The Poppy Line

The North Norfolk Railway occupies a section of the former Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway (M&GN), which was once a vital link for the region's agriculture and tourism. Its nicknamed "The Poppy Line" because of the wildflowers that once blanketed the embankments. Today, it is a living history experience, featuring meticulously restored stations and a world-class collection of steam engines that offer a nostalgic window into the golden era of the English seaside holiday.
