  • Peaceful 8.5-acre site with lakes, woodland and adventurous activities
  • On the outskirts of Norwich; 20 minutes' drive from Wroxham
  • Canoeing, archery, axe throwing, high ropes and a zipline
Outdoor adventure in a rural setting is the name of the game at X Adventure Activities, a spacious woodland site about 20 minutes' drive from Norwich city centre. As you may have gathered, there's a whole bunch of adventurous action on the cards at this outdoorsy spot, but it also makes a top base for laidback breaks surrounded by nature or for jaunts out to the stunning Norfolk Broads (20 minutes' drive). This 8.5-acre site has simple amenities that are kept clean and tidy by the friendly site staff – toilets, hot showers, laundry facilities and a shared fridge and freezer are all available. There's also secure bike storage – particularly handy for those planning on making this their base for cycles along the car-free Marriott's Way (about 15 minutes' cycle). Activities here vary by day and are subject to availability, but you may be able to try out canoeing on the river Bure, archery, axe throwing, a high ropes course and a zipline that zooms right over one of the on-site lakes. It's worth noting that activities are only designed for ages eight and above (the very youngest in your travel tribe might instead appreciate a trip to the local soft play centre, 20 minutes' walk away). At dinner, a covered barbecue area with plentiful outdoor seating is on offer; you can also opt for wild-style barbecues on the field, but please make sure that these are raised off the grass. Wood is available to buy on site for campfires, but you're also free to bring your own. The nearby village of Horsford (20 minutes' walk) has a small but well-stocked supermarket and a fish and chip shop, takeaway and ice cream parlour.

Cabin

Liked The 2nd time we've stayed overnight and cannot fault it. Staff great, clean, fun, accommodating, everything supplied for a great few nights with kids.

Disliked Just a shame the cafe closed, but understandably as quiet. The tuck shop is great though.

2 bedroom ready tent

Liked We throughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be returning. The staff are so friendly and accommodating it made my son want to come back (he isn’t a keen camper). We stayed in the cabin having originally booked a ready tent and the staff upgraded us to the cabin to ensure my son enjoyed his trip. It was clean and comfortable with only 3 of us in there we had loads of room! I love the fact no cars are allowed on the tent/cabin area which keeps it safe for children to play on the field. The showers are clean as are the toilets my only issue was the bugs and spiders and webs which is totally expected given it’s in a wooded area, more my issue than the sites :-). We enjoyed no WiFi but you get signal if you need. The sites not overcrowded, I felt relaxed and safe.

Activities: we didn’t book in advance and will be doing that next time so didn’t do any but there is plenty to choose from. Kitchen area was clean, with a kettle, toaster, fridge and microwave. Location is ok with a co- op 5 mins away and 40mins to Cromer Beach.

We stayed 3 nights and could have easily stayed longer. I’d definitely recommend this site.

Disliked Nothing :-)

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked The instructor that ran the activities (very sorry I cannot remember his name) was so lovely and welcoming. He even went out of his way to introduce tye children to tye chickens. He shared some facts about them and let them collect the eggs. I am sure they will all have lasting memories of this.

Disliked The Roosters did wake us up very early every morning 😆

Malham 1 bedroom bunkhouse (six person)

Liked Peacefulness. Help given & attentiveness of all staff. Communal kitchen area (everything we needed) Tutoring of activities (very good)

(It would have been good to have other activities on offer when we were staying)

Disliked Showers- long time becoming hot. Not very powerful.

A vacuum cleaner in the accommodation (we would have liked to cleaned the floor each day)

Highland 1 bedroom bunkhouse (four person)

Liked Facilities were nice and clean. Chickens were a great hit and the geese had babies. The onsite shop was nice and the communal cooking area is a nice touch.

Disliked There were no activities on and no prior warning to this until the day we were due to arrive.

Local attractions

Kids of all ages are sure to get excited by the prospect of a trip to the Norwich Puppet Theatre, and while you're in town there's also the town's cathedral and medieval castle to explore. Having the city's Roarr Dinosaur Adventure up your sleeve may also come in handy if you're travelling with any budding palaeontologists… For time by the water in and around the Norfolk Broads, you could take your rod and tackle down to Wensum Fisheries (15 minutes' drive) for a bit of quiet time or head to Wroxham (20 minutes) to hire a boat for self-piloted trips around the local area's waterways. If you'd rather away to the seaside instead, you can get down to the stretches of sand at Bacton (35 minutes) for days out on the beach, while over in Suffolk you can visit the UK's most easterly point at Lowestoft (50 minutes).
