The buses on these routes have big panoramic windows and comfy leather seats as well as plenty of space for bags and knees. Once you’re there, there are bus services to help you get around if you want to go that bit further. Ask for an Explorer day ticket which will get you there, back and all around, all day with unlimited travel on all First buses in Norwich and all along the east coast. The Explorer ticket also includes travel from Fakenham, Dereham, Wymondham, Attleborough and Harleston.

Buses run up to every 20 minutes Monday to Saturday from Norwich Airport, Harford, Sprowston, Thickthorn and Postwick, then just from Thickthorn on Sundays.

Park the car for free, then buy your ticket on the bus (or on the Konectbus App).

It’s a bargain too – For an adult it’s only £3 for all day travel or £1.50 for  concessions. Extra passengers are just £1 each! So a parent with 3 children costs just £6!*
