One of the many reasons we love living here… ✨🌌

We couldn’t agree more with Visit North Norfolk. North Norfolk really is one of the best places in the UK to witness the magical Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).

During the five years we’ve been at The Old Station, we’ve been incredibly fortunate to see this spectacular natural phenomenon on many occasions. With Norfolk’s vast open skies and very little light pollution, it can be an unforgettable sight when conditions are just right.

If you’re lucky enough to be staying with us when the aurora makes an appearance, it’s an experience you’ll never forget.

We’ve shared some of our own Northern Lights photographs on our website if you’d like to take a look. ✨

Have you ever been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights in Norfolk?

Our annual pilgrimage to the Weeting Steam Engine Rally & Country Show didn’t disappoint!

The sights, sounds and even the smell of the steam engines make it such a special event. There was plenty to see, lots of familiar faces, and as always we came away inspired.

We’ve put together a few clips from our day – we hope you enjoy watching them as much as we enjoyed being there!

Did you go to Weeting this year?
