John Betjeman Goes by Train: King's Lynn to Hunstanton
John Betjeman revels in the pleasures of travelling along the small branch line from King's Lynn to Hunstanton.
Overview
From King's Lynn through the wide, flat fields of Norfolk to the unique, half-timbered station of Wolferton, the station for Sandringham. Then through a land of 'red farms and flint churches' standing 'amongst the silver birches' to Snettisham, with its name cut in a box hedge. And so to Hunstanton and the sea: an unusual and enchanting journey, illuminated by John Betjeman's engaging personality. Made in association with BBC TV.
