We know how valuable secure parking is in a city like Norwich, which is why Magdalen Rest comes with its own allocated off-street parking space, located just around the corner.

This cosy house is located in the central area of Norwich with a 10 minutes walk to get to the city centre and quick access to the main transport routes such as the A47 if you do decide to explore Norfolk Broads.

If you are visiting with your friend or family we suggest you visit Mousehold Heath for the best sunsets in Norwich. It takes around 10 minutes to drive, but every minute of that is worth the view.

If you have decided to travel to the city centre by bus go to the “Bell Road” bus stop and take Bus (11B) that goes to Norwich City Centre. And after 7 min (5 stops) get out at “Upper King Street” (Stop CP).

If you are taking a train it takes 25 minutes to walk to the train station with the great views of the riverside walk, or you can take the same bus route to the city centre and then walk straight through the Prince of Wales Road for 8 minutes to get tot he trains station.

However, Norfolk is a big area, with many things to see and do. To make the most of your trip, we always recommend guests hire their own transport to see all Norfolk has to offer.

And one of the cheapest rates for car hire that we found is “Norwich Car Hire” - we suggest you book your car as soon as possible to make sure you do not miss the opportunity.
