By car, from south east and south west England: from the M25, take junction 27 and join the M11 motorway. Follow the signs to the A11 which will eventually deliver you to Norwich. Thanks to the dualling of the A11, completed in 2016, your journey is now entirely either motorway or dual carriageway all the way to Norwich. From London (M25) to Norwich typically takes 2 hours or more.
By car, from the midlands and the north: most traffic entering Norfolk from this direction arrives via the A17 or the A47, depending upon your starting location. Anyone travelling from the north will usually follow the A17 (which adjoins the A1). Both the A47 and the A17 enter Norfolk at King’s Lynn; this can be a busy bottle neck at peak times. From Kings Lynn, there are three roads to choose from: the A149 is the best route for those travelling to west Norfolk (including Hunstanton and Brancaster). The A148 is best for Wells-next-the-Sea or anyway east of this on the coastline. Finally, the A47 heads east across the county to Norwich and eventually, Great Yarmouth.
By train: There are 2 train routes from London into Norfolk: King’s Cross to King’s Lynn or from Liverpool Street to Norwich. Both King’s Lynn and Norwich can also be reached from other parts of the UK, but sometimes requiring line changes. The Bittern Line travels from Norwich to Sheringham.
