Peaceful glamping meadow near West Runton Beach in North Norfolk
A 10-minute drive from Felbrigg Hall and North Norfolk Railway
Comfortable bell tents, showers shacks, communal kitchen and firepits

A beach, a steam train, a big country house, an old flint church… they’re all typical attractions of North Norfolk and all within 20 minutes’ drive of Gresham Hall Glamping. Suffice to say this pop-up glampsite is in a mighty handy location for sightseers. Set in the sleepy village of Aylmerton, home to the flint St John the Baptist church, the glampsite somehow manages to be five minutes’ drive from the National Trust-owned Felbrigg Hall and 10 minutes from the beach and still dodges the holiday crowds. It’s also remarkably comfortable, which surely seals the deal. So what’s on offer on site? Bell tents in a hay meadow, each sleeping a family of up to four, with proper double beds for the grown-ups and air mattresses for the kids. Heating comes in the form of a toasty woodburning stove, and electricity is provided for bedside lights, electric blankets and phone charging. Most things you need for cooking are supplied. Crockery, cutlery and utensils. A kettle for that essential morning tea or coffee, and a cool box for storing essentials. Outside there’s a picnic table, firepit and barbecue. Wood and charcoal are available to buy from Gresham Hall Estate. Shacks with hot showers and flushing loos are a short walk across the meadow, as well as a communal fridge and microwave in the outdoor kitchen, while drinking water taps are dotted around the glamping field. Twice a week is pizza night, when delicious pizzas are cooked to order using the freshest ingredients – but do respect the 10pm campsite curfew, so no late-night pizza parties please.

Pitch Up Space unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Swallows flying over on a morning and owls in the evening. The long grass gave a wild camping feel. Peaceful and not overcrowded. The availability of a fridge was a bonus to keep fresh food. No cars around the pitches. Situation good for exploring coast and country( especially for us on bikes) Pizza night on site a bonus.

Disliked: If site was full the facilities could be stretched( toilets, showers)

Pitch Up Space unpowered grass tent site

Liked: The peace and quiet. Good clean facilities. Spacious pitch.

Disliked: Bit of a walk to the loo/showers. Pitches were on cut down dry hay (?) rather than grass which was a bit painful to stand /kneel on!!
