Visiting with Dogs
We regret to inform our visitors, that unfortunately, due to steam trains running on our grounds, the public liability insurance contract will not allow dogs on site. We would love for you to be able to visit with your furry friends, and hope that Insurance companies will soon change their rules. Thank you for understanding.
Plan your weekend
Plan your visit to world famous Bressingham Gardens. Spectacular Winter Norfolk Suffolk garden visit near Anglesey Abbey and Cambridge Botanic Gardens. Make a weekend garden tour with neighbouring Fuller’s Mill, Helmingham Hall and Wyken Hall Gardens.
Steam Museum
Bressingham Gardens and Steam Experience is a unique combination arising out of the passions of founder Alan Bloom, whose profession of nurseryman and gardener and hobby of a steam powered collection of trains and traction engines led to the leisure destination of Bressingham Gardens and Steam Museum (The Steam Museum is now a charitable trust).
Here families with children can enjoy train rides into the Waveney woodland and valley and around Alan Bloom’s Dell Garden, ride on the Victorian Roundabout, the Gallopers or visit the Dad’s Army reconstruction of Warmington on Sea as shown in the ever popular TV series Dad’s Army.
