Getting Here from Norwich
🕓 Approx. travel times:
By Car: ~approx 1 hour 10 mins (via A1067 through Fakenham – easiest and fastest option)
By Bus: ~1 hour 35 minutes (Coastal service X29/X44 from Norwich to Fakenham, then Coastliner 36 to Walsingham)
By Train: Not recommended – nearest stations are Sheringham and King’s Lynn, and neither are convenient from Norwich. Bus is far simpler!
