Bylaugh Country Park

View prices & book Last booked 6 days ago 9.8 199 reviews

Peaceful site in the Wensum Valley, south facing with excellent views
Easily explore the county from a convenient mid-Norfolk setting
Plenty of fishing, walks and cycle paths locally

If you’re in real and urgent need of a peaceful getaway, then a stay at Bylaugh Country Park should do the job. It might be close to civilisation – the town of Dereham is within 10 minutes’ drive and Norwich is half an hour away – but the quiet and secluded site in the Norfolk countryside should still give you all the escape you need. This part of Norfolk is paradise for walkers and cyclists, as it's well placed for exploring the county. You can join Marriott’s Way footpath, cycle path and bridleway about 10 minutes from Bylaugh Country Park, or follow its entire length by starting in Aylsham, less than half an hour away. The red route of Norwich’s Pedalways cycle path network is also within easy reach. When you’re feeling peckish, head to one of the many restaurants within 10 minutes of the site or fire up the barbecue for a home-cooked meal; pick up supplies from the small on-site shop or from the village of North Elmham, five minutes' drive drive away. Handily, North Elmham also has a popular fish and chips shop. Once you’ve satisfied your appetite, relax in the peace and quiet, looking out over the Wensum Valley and the quiet Norfolk countryside.

Fully-serviced grass site

Liked: Wow this is the best site ever and if we could have we would have given this site 10 stars. The site is very well maintained, easy access to site and pitches and very laid back regarding how you prefer to set up. The facilities you could not ask for more, the tiniest thing has been thought of, razors, shower hats and sanitary items in the ladies. In the washing up area there is washing up liquid, 2 washing machines and a dryer and 3 large fridge freezers. Everything is extremely clean nothing is missed. The pitches are relatively flat with the caravan not needing to be levelled. The views are beautiful. Lots of items for kids to play with, including footballs, goals and play equipment. When we stayed on a bank holiday weekend there was also free live entertainment where there was a bar but we were also told you could bring you own drink. Unfortunately we had a medical emergency and the owners could not have been more helpful, asking next morning how my daughter was. Good access to many attractions throughout Norfolk and although not right on the coast you would go a long way to find a better site for families or couples alike. We will definitely be regular visitors over the coming years. 100% recommend this site.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing!!

Local attractions

Angling fans will be well served with a stay at Bylaugh Country Park – the Wensum river is nearby, as are several carp lakes including the Lenwade and Billingford lakes, both ripe for fishing. The Billingford Fishing Lakes are only five minutes' drive away from the site, whereas Lenwade sits 10 minutes' drive away. If a beach break is more your bag, it's a 40-minute drive to the northern coast of Norfolk, where you can explore the Norfolk Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, walk the Norfolk Coast Path and visit the scenic seaside towns that line it. Head back in time with a trip on the steam trains at Mid-Norfolk Railway and Bure Valley Railway, both within 30 minutes of the site, or by visiting the stately homes of Blickling Estate, Holkham Hall, Houghton Hall and Sandringham, all within 40 minutes of Bylaugh. There’s plenty close at hand for entertaining the kids too: they can meet the wildlife at Pensthorpe Natural Park, run wild at BeWILDerwood or get their own taste of history at Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure. If they’re up for a slightly longer jaunt in the car, you can all get your adrenaline pumping on the rides at Pleasurewood Hills theme park.
