1. The Royal Station Wolferton
Overall Ratings
5 based on 197 reviews
This Victorian Railway Station was lovingly restored into a family home and now the owners of Wolferton Station enjoy welcoming as many visitors as possible to enjoy this historical building. Although a non commercial venture they open up the platform through generosity, passion and love for sharing the history of the station with others.

Wolferton Station is a privately owned home which is open from 12 noon on selected days. A wonderful insight into the history of this station and connections with the Royal family and others. Lovely albums and cuttings and memorabilia. There are some great walks nearby. the wood walk on the road down to Wolferton offers spectacular views over the surrounding countryside.
2. Castle Acre Priory

Plenty free parking , display cabinets are good and you get a free palm unit to listen to commentaries, especially of first hand accounts. It shows England at its best, destroying works of such splendour in the name of money. looking at the size of this place shows what the monks were capable of, and its second to Foutanis abbey for being impressive. Worth a visit

I didn't eat here, but the beer was good with nice friendly people running the pub. This certainly has a friendly local atmosphere.

We spent the whole afternoon wandering around the beautiful Sandringham estate. The Gardens are very nice ( and very well-maintained) and there are great paths to follow for pleasant walks. The entrance fee to the grounds and the house is around 20 pounds but for me it was worth it.

6. Castle Acre Castle

Impressive earthworks and the remains of the castle give a real feeling of how it must have looked back in the day. Magnificent views over the countryside and very informative information boards. Well kept grounds, good access and decent car park. Open all year round and big bonus, it’s free. History aside it’s a great place for the early morning dog walk.
7. Church of St. Mary Magdalene

Reviewed By B7152FJpeterw - Southend-on-Sea, United Kingdom
I went to this church during a visit to Sandringham house. The Royal Family attend when in residence at Sandringham. The church is grade 2 listed. The current building dates to the 16th century and was restored by S. S. Teulon in 1855 and Arthur Blomfield in 1890. The church is well worth a visit and the architecture is impressive. Highly recommended.

As a local I'm very disappointed I hadn't discovered this place sooner! I had such a lovely day here last August bank holiday when we were experiencing some late summer heat. We packed up a picnic and went for a wander (exited at Wolverton). The heather was in abundance and so were the dragonflies. It was so peaceful to just lay down and watch them fly above our heads. I'd taken my camera too and got some amazing pictures.

We went here whilst away for the weekend and I loved it.
This place is not just for children and family’s.
Whilst they have a small petting area and farm animals and play park they also have a lovely little restaurant and a great deer safari.
The gentleman who guided the safari was very upbeat and engaging and feeding the deers was a great experience ( you get super close)
A great couple way to spend a couple of hours!
This is also dog friendly apart from on the actual deer safari.
10. Oxburgh Hall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 891 reviews
Reviewed By summersunshine48 - Redhill
After checking out NT places to go, Oxburgh Hall appeared to be worth the journey, and confirmed open until 5pm. We travelled quite a distance, arriving just after 2pm. After parking, queuing for entry, and then hearing the charity explanation, gift aid etc - we walked to the Hall, but this was closed at 2.15pm. So we made our way towards the café for lunch - many NT places have great food choices for vegans and vegetarians. We joined a queue of keen diners extending outside the building. But it was really slow - there was one lone cashier who was both logging the orders and seeing guests to their table. By the time we were served, it had just gone 2.30 and told the kitchen had packed up, and no hot food or sandwiches - despite the queue right outside. Yes all 4 of us could have had a coffee, but we walked out very disappointed, and ended up going to a pub opposite. The pub was packed with people having a leisurely Sunday Dinner. The NT lost some good lunch orders. (Also note: The NT car park was marked as closing at 4.30pm).
On the plus side, Oxburgh Hall was a nice location with extensive walking around the fields with sheep and lambs.
