  • 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.

Liked: Lovely small and peaceful farm site. Nature walks nearby were beautiful and even spotted a green woodpecker from the door of our tent. Good clean facilities, didn't use the shower but looked immaculate. Having a kettle available in the wash block was very handy as we were staying in colder weather.

Liked: Great location good facilities very peaceful

Disliked: Grass over grown Resident dogs allowed to roam free, completely friendly. However, witnessed them fouling on and around pitches, meaning, having to clean up after them so children had a clean area to play.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Peaceful, nice owners, shower, loo, and kitchen on site. We went when it was still very wet and they put us on a solid track which was great and we could still reach the electric and water. Great view of the manege. Amazing walks round the West Acre ReWilding area right on the property spent some lovely time with the wild Exmoor ponies they have living there. Walkways over the wet bits too. Would recommend The Stag pub a ten minute drive away. Twenty minute drive to either Swafham for the market, and Snettersham Beach which was all but abandoned! Will definitely go back.

Disliked: I didn't find any toilet disposal facilities so we could empty the cassette, but also didn't ask!

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.
