2025 Thorpe St. Andrew Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Promenade alongside the waterfront

Life is green and nice

Alongside this river or lake, there were walks, promenade, buidings, boats and restaurants.

It’s hard to imagine that you are only a few minutes drive outside a city centre walking around the Norfolk village of Thorpe St Andrew. Start your stay here with a walk along the banks of the River Yare as you watch the boats and ducks wander by. Then, take a look at the beautiful historic church before getting a bite to eat in one of the independent cafes or waterside pubs. A true Norfolk holiday spot. #celebrateit #norfolk #Riverside #church

During our recent friends’ trip with Bishy Barney Boats, we had an unforgettable experience on the rivers of Norfolk. We opted for a self-drive boat, which made the journey feel both adventurous and fun. The 1-hour rental for just £30 was an excellent value for the scenic tour we enjoyed. As we cruised along the River Yare, we were treated to stunning countryside views, with lush greenery and serene waters creating a peaceful backdrop. Venturing towards the historic city of Norwich, we followed the River Wensum, which cuts right through the heart of the city. The mix of natural beauty and historic landmarks was incredible. This is a must-experience trip for anyone looking to explore the area in a unique and relaxing way. Whether you’re after rural charm or city sights, Bishy Barney Boats offers a memorable journey for everyone.
