Travelling by Rail

Connecting rail services:

Wymondham is well-served by an hourly service between Norwich and Cambridge operated by National Express, as well as East Midlands Trains services to the midlands.

Getting to Wymondham Abbey:

We do not yet have a station in the immediate neighbourhood of Wymondham Station, so the best option is a pleasant twenty-minute walk to Wymondham Abbey Station. Leave the Network Rail station and turn left. Carry on past the cemetery until you arrive at the end of the road. Cross the main road, and head right and then immediately left again into a housing estate. Fork right at the mini-roundabout. Just before the river is a footpath. Follow the footpath towards the unmistakable towers of the abbey. Turn left at the end of the path, and the station is on your right.

Travelling by Bus

Buses to Wymondham numbered X3 and X4 run every half hour Monday - Saturday, stopping near the traffic lights on the B1172. From there, follow the signs through the town centre to the war memorial.

Bus number 14 runs approximately every 15 minutes Monday - Saturday, and hourly in the evenings and on Sunday. The bus will drop you off in Wymondham market place, from where you can follow the signs past the abbey to the station.
