Aylsham Attractions
13th Apr 2025
Your Bure Valley Railway journey may start at our Aylsham station - in the beautiful, historic market town on the River Bure. Whilst there's plenty to do in and around the station, we thought we'd share our favourite things to do and visit in Aylsham. Let us know if there's any we should add to our list!
Blickling Hall
A short drive from our Aylsham Station in the historic National Trust owned Hall. Please note this is 1.8 miles and not within easy walking distance if you have travelled by train from Wroxham.
Aylsham Heritage Centre
Located in the old church rooms in the grounds of St Michael's Church, Aylsham Heritage Centre is a resource for the local community to find out more about the heritage of the area. We are also one of the Tourist Information points in the town.
Red Wings Horse Sanctuary Visitor Centre
Just under a mile from our Aylsham Station is this charming Horse sanctuary.
Urban Clay
A 10 -15 minute walk into the town of Aylsham will bring you to this wonderful pottery painting studio.
The Black Boys Hotel
The Black Boys Hotel is one of our closer neighbours in Aylsham - an imposing Grade II listed building in the centre of town. It is a popular pub, bar and restaurant.
