Redwings Horse Sanctuary has two locations, one in Aylsham and one in Caldecott. As Coltishall is now the limit of navigation for motorised craft, Aylsham can be reached either by a 15-minute taxi journey from Coltishall, or from the Bure Valley Railway by taking one of their trains from Wroxham to Aylsham – two days out in one! Coltishall is almost a 6 hours’ cruise from Stalham and will require you to go under Wroxham bridge. Wroxham is a 4 ¼ cruise from our Stalham marina.
