Blanca's Bell Tents at Courtyard Farm

Blanca's Bell Tents at Courtyard Farm has a lot of relaxing outdoor activities in the surrounding area, including the long-distance Peddars Way (10 minutes' walk), a 50-mile traffic-free trail that traces the route of an old Roman road through the Norfolk and Suffolk countryside. Also consider having a wander around the RSPB's reserve at Titchwell Marsh (10 minutes' drive) for birdwatching, some landscape photography or simply to appreciate its far-reaching views across The Wash. Now you feel in tune with your surroundings, you might like to head off to Wild Ken Hill (10 minutes), a local rewilding estate where you can learn more about local ecology, or if you've got kids to entertain you could also organise a trip to Snettisham Park (15 minutes), a family-friendly farm park with pony rides and deer safaris for the little ones. The local area also has plenty of grand estates and formal gardens to explore, with highlights including Houghton Hall (20 minutes), an 18th-century mansion near the coast that was built by Britain's first Prime Minister, and Sandringham (20 minutes), one of the royal family's favourite country residences.
