  • Dog-friendly Norfolk site with relaxing fishing lakes and a woodland
  • Half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest’s Go Ape and High Lodge
  • Catfish, carp, tench, silverfish and more over five well-stocked lakes
Anglers and adventurers, get ready, because Fendicks Fishery is a stunning Norfolk site with five well-stocked fishing lakes and a mature woodland, just half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest. Out there, there’s plenty of adventuring to be done, with High Lodge and its Go Ape centre as a good starting point. There's a well-balanced atmosphere at this site, as the team have worked hard over the years to manage and landscape the grounds so that there’s a good combination of nature and fishing. Anglers have access to five lakes with a variety of fish up for grabs, including catfish (weighing in at over 95 lbs), carp, tench, silverfish and more. With 32 acres of mature woodland surrounding the lake, peaceful and scenic are two words that accurately Fendicks Fishery. Plus, there’s a splendid set-up in terms of facilities, with a toilet and shower block that’s kept toasty by underfloor heating, a washing-up area, washing machines, information room, Elsan points and the reception area. All the grassy pitches have access to electric hook-up (how handy). When you’re not unwinding around the acres of space around this well-kept site or spending an afternoon fishing, you could take off onto the miles of paths around Thetford Forest or head further out onto the Norfolk coast, which will take you around an hour’s drive or just over.

Liked Getting the "tin bivvy" next to the swim was a real bonus for night fishing and added a touch of luxury. Son caught PB catfish. Will go back very soon.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked The site was nice and clean , plenty of bins around the site, we had a takeaway on the Friday night from the on-site cafe/restaurant which was nicely presented and ready for collection within 15 mins of ordering , fishing lakes well stocked .. just went for the weekend but will be booking again for longer next time …

Disliked I think only complaint would be the price of the fishing for our 5 year old grandson who wanted to learn to fish , obviously at 5 he’s not going to stay sitting there all day so 20 mins here and there , I think hubby said it was £7 for him , steep for a small child …

Ken S.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely site with a cafe (open til 3pm) and bar. Lots of events at the site, a 200+ motorcycle meet, music and steam rallies etc. Nice walks around and 5 fishing lakes which I used while there reasonably priced as well. Facilities were fine, water good temperature in showers.

Disliked Not really much to complain about but lakes are small and water was very low (4-5ft down). Also far too many rods in each lake.

Local attractions

Head to High Lodge (half an hour’s drive) to kickstart your tour of Thetford Forest. There are all sorts of ways to become one with the forest, from hiring out a Segway, taking an archery lesson or finding your zen with forest yoga. Go Ape Thetford (half an hour) will require a little bravery and some acrobatic skills for its treetop courses and zipwires, but on the ground, there are three cycling trails and four footpaths to follow from High Lodge. If you’re looking to find some places where the kids are likely to be entertained, Banham Zoo (35 minutes) is one such place, as are Melsop Farm Park (35 minutes) and Church Farm Stow Bardolph (15 minutes), two farm parks with a variety of animals and farm-style activities. A day at the coast is also possible from this site… just pick your seafront of choice. Perhaps Hunstanton (55 minutes) and Cromer (an hour and 20 minutes) to the north, or Great Yarmouth (an hour and 10 minutes) to the east? Towards the coast is Bressingham Steam & Gardens (40 minutes), a nice choice to see working steam locomotives in the flesh.
