MUCH TO SEE AND DO!
ylsham
Lodge Hotel is situated in the ancient market town of Aylsham - a settlement
which pre-dates the Norman Conquest of 1066. Today,
Aylsham is a thriving working town, which is situated in the midst of
some of the most beautiful countryside in England. Perfect as a base for
cyclists and walkers, it offers access to dedicated cycleways and footpaths
as well as dozens of quiet, picturesque country lanes. There are also
many excellent golf courses within easy reach.
Attractions
around the area
Bure Valley
Railway
The Aylsham
Lodge Hotel is but a short walk from the home of the Bure Vallev Railwav,
a narrow gauge steam hauled railway which plies a regular seasonal service
over the 9 miles between Aylsham and Wroxham, the capital of the Norfolk
Broads.
Blickling Hall
Blickling Park lies a mere two miles from the town. Originally
the home to King Henry VIII's second wife Anne Boleyn, (mother of our
greatest queen, Elizabeth I), the hall is now the East Anglian HQ of the
National Trust. Take a trip to Blickling through gentle country
lanes. Admission is charged to the Hall, but access to the Park is free.
The Broads
The world famous Norfolk Broads are nearby. Formed as a result
of medieval peat diggings, the various Broads are interconnected by 150
miles of waterways.
The Coast
The beautiful and haunting North Norfolk Coast is only twenty
minutes drive away. Protected by law for most of its length, the many
creeks and inlets are ideal for walkers, sailors & birdwatchers alike.
Norwich City
The Aylsham Lodge Hotel is a mere twenty minutes drive from the
heart of the medieval City of Norwich (once England's third city). Take
the time to stroll through the ancient streets of this beautiful city,
which have changed little in centuries. Visit the great Norman cathedral,
built between 1094 and 1145.
