Modern family-run glamping site two miles from the Norfolk coast
A 10-minute drive from the beach; 25 minutes from The Broads
Pub and shop a short walk away; barbecues and campfires allowed

From crabbing off Cromer’s pier to catching waves down the local beach to simple fish and chips on the seafront, there are all sorts of Norfolk coast activities to fill your days with when you stay at Counting Sheep Glamping. A 25-minute drive away from The Broads too, this modern site has a dedicated and friendly family at the helm, including Stuart, his wife Donna and their three children. The Norfolk coast, just two miles away, has a crafty way of reeling you in. It might be down to its scenic coastal walks or its laidback beaches, but either way, you’ll only have 10 minutes’ drive to reach the closest sandy beach in Mundesley, a safe swimming spot with surfing activities. You’ll be able to get in some real relaxation on site too, as the modern facilities have a homely feel and barbecues and campfires are permitted to help stir up atmospheric alfresco evenings. The site is just outside the village of Trunch, where there’s a pub serving food within five minutes' walk of your accommodation. Handily, there's also a small shop there for food supplies and any bits of kit you may have forgotten. Outdoor pursuits are likely to fill much of your time, but a local spot high up on the family’s recommendations is an indoor soft play centre, American-style diner and bowling alley, 10 minutes’ drive away – a handy pick for entertaining kids on a damp day.

Shepherd's hut (two person)

Liked: The facilities were clean and well maintained, with kettle, toaster, hob and crockery. The communal area had cooking facilities and a big fridge/freezer. The host was friendly and the site quiet in the evening. The local pub had live music in the evening, a short walk away.

Shepherd's hut (two person)

Liked: The owners were very friendly. They have thought to include all the ‘little extras’ that can make a difference…..washing up stuff, set of bbq tools per hut, large covered communal area with shared fridge/freezer and gas BBQs, garden furniture, wooden fence/windbreakers and sun shades. The site has been set out well to offer maximum privacy for each unit. Very clean toilet/shower facilities. Excellent internet reception. Very quiet site. No traffic noise. Unable to use fire pit due to current climate risks but set up looked ideal. Will definitely go again.

Local attractions

There’s more to Cromer (15 minutes’ drive) than just crabbing… this seaside town was once a Victorian resort and the pier and pavilion still remain. On the sandy beach, surfing and paddleboarding are some of the activities of choice – the same goes for Sea Palling beach (half an hour), where watersports such as jet skiing are in full force. For those of you who are keen to keep to the water, The Broads (25 minutes) is the place to hire out a boat for the day. Otherwise, you might want to opt for fish and chips on the shore in Sheringham (half an hour) and have a traditional seaside afternoon out, including arcades or a steam train ride to Holt. Now, while the sea certainly takes some of the limelight around here, you’ll also want to map out your way to some of the attractions inland too. There’s BeWILDerwood Norfolk (25 minutes) for playgrounds and twiggle characters, but for a trip that feels a little grander, perhaps you’ll want to call in at the National Trust’s Blickling Estate (25 minutes) or Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate (15 minutes), the latter also a good shout for woodland trails and lakes.
