The Honing Station is a former Royal Air Force (RAF) station located in Suffolk, England. It was built in 1939 and played a significant role in World War II as a bomber station. The station features a range of original buildings, including the control tower, barracks, and hangars, which have been preserved to maintain their historical integrity. Visitors can explore the station's museum, which showcases exhibits on the history of the RAF, the station's role in the war, and the lives of those who served there. The Honing Station also offers guided tours, allowing visitors to delve deeper into its history and significance.
Dainty little station, no longer used but with some history to read about on boards. Tucked out of the way and away from main roads, this little gem can be a great place to have a picnic or walk along weavers way.
Lovely place to visit. Station platforms are very interesting to have a look at, although the buildings are gone. The first couple of rows of bricks are all that remains of the buildings but with the help of the picture and information boards you can get an idea of what this lovely place was like in it's prime. It would be nice to see these old places reopened and tracks laid with a few trains in use again. Worth a visit as it's all part if Weaver's way so you can walk or ride a bike for miles any either direction.
The former railway station (1882-1959) at Honing in North Norfolk, is on the Midland & Great Northern Line from Leicester to Gt. Yarmouth. Platforms remain intact & remains of the track & buildings have been excavated & restored. There is ample free car parking and a walk on the trackbed is part of the Weavers Way. It's a really interesting relic from bygone days of the railway - there were up to 80 trains a day through here!
A step back in time to the age of steam. A well maintained piece of history that does not involve English Heritage or the National Trust. Many other ghost stations have been allowed to succumb to nature if they haven't already been demolished completely. Along with the story boards, it brings the station back to life.
Great place for a dog walk along the old Midland and Great Northern Railway route, now called Weavers Way. Given the nickname for the M&GN was meander and go nowhere, you are assured to be in a deeply rural landscape.
