Parklands Holidays

The town of Wisbech, 10 minutes’ drive from the site, is an absolute must to start off holiday adventures. Elgood’s Brewery will satisfy fans of ale and craft beers, while avid historians will be keen to explore Wisbech Castle, the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, the spectacular Peckover House and Garden, and the house where Octavia Hill (arguably the founder of modern social work) was born. If hols involve burning a hole in wallets, there are plenty of shops to rifle through in Wisbech and, if longer drives aren't an issue, Springfields Outlet Shopping is 25 minutes away for some high-end bargains, kid-sized diversions at Adventure Land, and outdoor wanders through the Festival Gardens. Soothing afternoons can be spent out and about on the links, with Tydd St Giles Golf and Country Club less than five minutes from base and Gedney Hill Golf Club 20 minutes away; both are 18-hole, 70-par courses. If you agree with Mark Twain that golf is a good walk spoiled though, opt for a patch of lake shore instead – North View Fishing Lakes’ three lakes are 20 minutes from the site. For a touch more history, it’s a 25-minute journey to King’s Lynn, where museums lay out the history of the seaport, medieval remains dot the streets of the town, and the stunning Oxburgh Hall and Her Majesty’s country residence (Sandringham) are each within easy reach.
