  • Quiet family-run working farm site in rural Norfolk
  • A 30-minute drive from Thetford Forest Park; 35 minutes to Hunstanton
  • Horses and dogs accommodated; fishing pond and kitchen area on site
From muddling your way down bridleways, forest trails and estates to pottering around quaysides or getting stuck into a classic Victorian seaside resort, you’ll be able to kickstart a breezy break in Norfolk from Abbey Farm Holidays. This quiet, rural site halfway between Swaffham and King’s Lynn isn’t just a good spot for the family or your assorted group of adventurers, though – dogs and horses are also accommodated on site. You’re in for a pretty cosy time here, as there’s a shower and toilet on site, as well as a small kitchen area with a fridge, microwave, kettle and dishwashing area for prepping your own food, perhaps ready for a campfire or barbecue. The site is in East Walton, one of three villages in the Westacre Estate, where footpaths and bridleways are an added convenience. The estate has a rewilding project surrounding the site, so you might catch wild ponies, cattle, pigs and other native animals while out on your wanders. This is a family-run site, so the owners will be able to point those of you with horses in the direction of good horse riding routes. You’ll also get the lowdown on where’s hot to eat out nearby – handily, there are a couple of pubs within five minutes’ drive of the site. Those of you who are down for a spot of fishing will also be happy to find that there’s a fishing pond on site stocked with tench, roach, perch and carp to round things off.

Amanda F. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Lovely and scenic, really good facilities, kettle, microwave and fridge which were all so handy having a 7 month old baby. The campsite is also nice and quiet in the sense that there were only another 4 pitches so it meant you wasn't queueing or anything for toilet/showers. Really good location for walks and a nice little pond on site with a boat you can paddle in.

Disliked: Nothing I liked everything and would consider staying again next year. The only thing I would of changed is bringing my portable toilet so I didn't need to wonder in the dark for the loo in the night but that's my own preference.

Davina S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: This is the second time at this site, great location to relax and enjoy The little boat on the rather large pond is entertaining for the kids and adults alike. The owners are pleasant and helpful. Great views all around and pleasant walks which are easy accessible. We will be back next year. Thanks for a great stay.

Disliked: Can queue for the facilities but not to much of a problem as not a massive site.

Jade C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Relaxed feel of the campsite, the horses and the walks from the site, the views from the site

Disliked: That you had to pay £1 for the shower when it is already £10 per night for electric, this site used to be much more reasonable

Local attractions

What kind of scenery would you rather have for your wanders? Perhaps a country house, gardens and park for your walks or cycles at Sandringham Estate (15 minutes’ drive)? The Palladian-style Holkham Hall (45 minutes) and its parklands? King’s Lynn (20 minutes) for Hanseatic town with heritage sites, the quayside and the Hanse Trail down a route taken in medieval times? Or Swaffham (15 minutes) to see all the little makings of a market town? There’s walking, cycling and wildlife spotting (if you’ve got the patience for that one) in Thetford Forest Park (half an hour). Binoculars might also come in handy for the Snettisham (25 minutes) nature reserve and beach too, where there might be pink-footed geese, knot and shelduck for the spotting. In case your visit has you craving more of the seaside, Holkham beach (50 minutes) could be your next scenic stop-off, or perhaps Hunstanton (35 minutes), where there’s a classic Victorian seaside resort with the works, including windsurfing, paddleboarding and kitesurfing.
