Links Courses

Parkland courses

As there are just so many great courses around then have a look at tee times where you can see pricing for a number of courses and book on line.

Tides

We do have some pretty high tides on occasion here in Norfolk. There is a tide table that lists the high and low tides in the campsite office but you can have a look prior to your arrival so you may plan your day to the beach. Click here to see the tidal forecast but also recommended is local beach safety and advice. We do support the RNLI which saves so many lives per year but sadly not all. The sea is upredictable even on a calm sunny day so do be careful out there. Beware of rip tides as they will put even the strongest swimmer into danger. Rip currents are the cause of 80% of the rescues carried out by beach lifeguards.

Halls and Estates

Many stately Halls and Estates are nearby to the campsite. A few of these are Holkham Hall, Sandringham Estate which is where Her MajestyThe Queen spends the Christmas Holidays, Houghton Hall and Blickling Hall. These are all worth a visit whilst you are in the area but dogs are not permitted in most cases.

Bus Services

We are quite fortunate to have an hourly bus service to Fakenham and Kings Lynn. Many of our campers have left the car behind and went to Norwich shopping and also used the Coast Hopper to see all of the sea front and villages.

The bus stops are less than 200 yards from the campsite.

Trains

The te nearest train station to us is Kings Lynn but also within a reasonable distance is Downham Market.
