Location Map
Norfolk's longest fifteen inch gauge line runs between the ancient market town of Aylsham and Wroxham, the 'Capital of the Norfolk Broads' with country stations serving the villages of Brampton, Buxton and Coltishall.

The 18 mile round trip runs through the picturesque Bure valley countryside following the meandering river through meadowland and ancient pasture stopping occassionally at small country villages.

Steam or Diesel trains run daily from March 31st through to September 30th. There are at least two trains a day with up to seven services running at peak weekends and during special events.

Directions:
Wroxham is about 8 miles north-east of Norwich on the A1151. The BVR station is adjacent to the main Norwich to Sheringham railway station. Approaching from Norwich, just over Wroxham river bridge, turn left at Roys of Wroxham (Station Road). Turning left again, under the railway bridge and the BVR station car park is on the right.
If travelling from the North East, coming along either the A1151 or A1062 at the double round-abouts in Hoveton, follow the signs for Coltishall, once you go under the railway bridge the BVR station car park is on the right.
