Coltishall is a village located near Norwich in Norfolk. Historically, it was known for its connection to the Royal Air Force (RAF) as it served as a base during World War II. RAF Coltishall was a prominent fighter station, and its history is intertwined with the defense efforts of the United Kingdom during the war.The village itself is picturesque, featuring a charming rural atmosphere. The nearby River Bure adds to the scenic beauty of the area, providing opportunities for riverside walks and recreation.In recent years, Coltishall has become a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat while still having access to the amenities of Wroxham and Norwich, which are short distances away. The village retains its historical character, and visitors can explore remnants of its military past, including the old RAF Coltishall site.Standing on the river Bure, the town of Wroxham is divided by the river and shares its many attractions with the neighbouring Hoveton St John. Whether on the water or congregating in the busy pubs and restaurants on offer, there is something that will capture the heart of everyone. If you choose to hire a boat, you can travel at a leisurely pace along the broads and moor up at one of the local pubs. The Ferry Inn at Horning serves food all day and offers a fantastic outdoor space and plenty of mooring.If you would rather stay on dry land, you can wander through the riverside park and feed the ducks, enjoy afternoon tea at one of the quaint tea rooms or simply sit and watch the boats go by in a sunshine filled pub garden.The Bure Valley railway, which started in 1900, begins its journey in the centre of Wroxham. Both a steam and diesel train run the 18 mile round trip, taking you on a tour of pretty Norfolk villages and ending in Aylsham.A fun family day out can be had at Wroxham Barns where crafts activities and a Junior Zoo are two of the many activities to enjoy, finishing off with a piece of homemade cake or perhaps a Norfolk brewed cider.
