A beautifully maintained steam railway. Note: there are some services pulled by diesel engines. Info is clear as to which services. The 2 main stations are charming. A little cafe at one. An interesting museum. Some model train sets running in an exhibition space. A big shop with some very interesting products. Many different carriage types pulled by the loco. I’ve shown only one in my photos. Blisteringly hot on board on a recent visit, that couldn’t be helped! Wildly expensive tickets now (£24pp if I remember rightly). I recall going many times (20 odd years ago) and it was very cheap. Do check the ticket prices as a big family trip might bankrupt you.

We bought tickets for the railway as a family with 4 small children and they really enjoyed it. We parked at Holt and explorers there first before travelling to Sheringham where we spent a couple of hours, had lunch and en explore of the town before returning. Overall a good day out

We started at Sheringham Station, the whole station looks like it had frozen in time, all the staff were dressed in vintage uniforms so too, so was a lovely feeling to step back in time, we took the steam train to Holt station took about 30 min with some lovely scenery to look at and a view of the sea in the distance, Holt station is great, some vintage train carriages to look at, a small railway museum and some other trains to look at, Holt town is about a mile away from the station, there is a bus stop almost right out side the train station with regular busses. Heading back to Sheringham we boarded a 1960s diesel train, this is a great was to spend a hour or two, done it and probably wouldn't need to do it again but really enjoyed, we booked online, £42 for two people, return ticket.

We recently visited the North Norfolk Railway during a short break locally and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. We purchased rover tickets online for £46.64 for two adults, which allowed unlimited travel throughout the day. We were however a little surprised that our tickets weren’t checked at any point. We chose to park at Holt, where parking is free, although a £3 donation is suggested. From there, we took the steam train to Sheringham — a lovely seaside town with plenty of cafés, bars, and a beautiful beach. However, there is limited beach access for dogs between May to September. While in Sheringham, we also visited the Sheringham Museum, which we would highly recommend. After a great day exploring, we caught the late afternoon diesel train back to Holt. Overall, a fantastic experience that we’d happily recommend to others.

We travelled on this lovely steam train between Christmas and New Year on their "Mince Pie Special" train leaving from Sheringham. We had pre-booked our tickets online and check in at the station was quick and efficient. We loved the carriages and their old world charm. Once we got on the way, staff came around with hot chocolate/hot cider and mince pies. Both of which were delicious. In Holt there was plenty of time to explore the station and watch the locomotive change over before the train headed back to Sheringham. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend this.
