LOCATION
Coltishall, a charming village near Norwich in Norfolk, offers a blend of history, nature, and rural beauty. Its notable connection to the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II, particularly with RAF Coltishall, underscores its historical significance. The former fighter station played a crucial role in the defense of the UK and remains a point of interest for visitors exploring the area’s military past.
The village itself is picturesque, set alongside the scenic River Bure. This tranquil river enhances the rural atmosphere and provides a perfect backdrop for riverside walks and recreational activities. Coltishall is also conveniently located near Wroxham and Norwich, making it an ideal peaceful retreat for those looking to enjoy a quiet village life without being too far from urban amenities.
Wroxham, often referred to as the "Capital of the Broads," offers many attractions, including boat hire on the River Bure. Visitors can take leisurely trips along the Norfolk Broads, stopping at local pubs like The Ferry Inn in Horning for food and a pleasant outdoor atmosphere. For those preferring to stay on land, Wroxham’s riverside parks and tea rooms provide relaxing spaces to enjoy the scenery and watch the boats. The Bure Valley Railway, starting in Wroxham, takes travelers on an 18-mile round trip through scenic Norfolk villages, concluding in Aylsham. It's a fun way to explore the area’s countryside, and steam or diesel trains add to the experience. For families, Wroxham Barns offers activities such as craft workshops and a Junior Zoo, perfect for a day out. The nearby Norfolk Broads Yacht Club caters to sailing enthusiasts with a wide range of events and facilities.
