  • Welcoming site next to the Whitwell & Reepham Railway Station
  • In the countryside, half an hour’s drive from Norwich and The Broads
  • Station bar-restaurant and museum on site; Marriott’s Way access
Staying in lush, green Norfolk countryside sounds pretty appealing on its own. However, add in a heritage railway station with a museum and a bar-restaurant, and that's when things get truly exciting. Set next door to the Whitwell & Reepham Railway Station, Whitwell Station Campsite is a welcoming rural site with direct access to the station, where there are daily departures, a bar-restaurant with a rear garden and access to the Marriott’s Way walking and cycling path. Rural this site may be, but it’s also well within reach of a few other key Norfolk landscapes. First of all, it's within half an hour’s drive of the city of Norwich, as well as The Broads National Park, a scenic place to indulge in hiring a boat. If you'd rather get out on the water on a lighter watercraft, hire a canoe or kayak at Salhouse Broad (again, half an hour's drive away) to spy for wildlife and paddle as far as Horning or Wroxham. From Whitwell Station Campsite, you're also poised to get out to the Norfolk Coast. Start by nosying around Cromer pier or the Sheringham Priory Maze and Gardens, which are both within 35 minutes’ drive of the site, before heading to Blakeney (35 minutes) to try crabbing from the Quay or take a boat trip to see the local grey seal colonies. Back at base, the park has well-maintained amenities suited to a weekend break or family holiday, including toilets and showers.

Local attractions

What's worthy of the first stop on your Norwich break? You might as well make it the lively city of Norwich (half an hour’s drive), which is packed to the brim with shops, pubs, theatres, museums and historic sites like the castle and cathedral. Stop by Pulls Ferry, a former ferry house with a 15th-century watergate, to see the route where stone was sent to the Norwich Cathedral building site. Norwich ghost walks, which have been up and running since 1998, will take you around the city’s most ‘haunted’ sites. If you’re keen to tick off a few beaches as you make your rounds, some worthy places to consider are the dunes in Holkham (40 minutes) or West Runton (35 minutes), where prehistoric bones have been found. Viewing platforms from the dunes at Horsey Gap (55 minutes) also put you in with a chance of spotting the area’s grey seal colony. There are lots of museums and National Trust properties around these parts, too. The National Trust’s Sheringham Park (half an hour) has woodland walks where lucky folks can spot wildlife like red deer and firecrest. Sandringham Estate (45 minutes), used as a holiday escape for royals, has spectacular gardens and Jacobean-style architecture.
