Wroxham is also home to a number of shops, restaurants, and pubs, making it a great place to spend a day or two.

One of the main attractions in Wroxham is the Bure Valley Railway. This narrow-gauge railway runs for 18 miles between Wroxham and Aylsham, passing through some of the most picturesque countryside in Norfolk. The railway is a popular attraction for families, with children especially enjoying the chance to ride on a steam train. Another popular attraction in Wroxham is the Wroxham Barns complex.
