  • 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.

What customers say

Staff are dead on, very helpful. Plenty for the kids to do, and loads of room to roam. Cabins are grand and not too pricey. Some whinges about the loos and showers needing a spruce up and a bit more TLC, but the quiet spot and scenery are a big hit.

2 bedroom ready tent

Liked The tent was nice and spacious and clean and the beds were really comfortable.

Disliked The placement of the tent. As I was a lone women with just my dog it was absolutely ridiculous that they pitch my tent smack bag in the middle of a teens activity break. I had to leave 2 days early due to the placement of the tent. I'd asked if this could be moved but didn't get a real response until after I'd already packed up. I'm a carer for 2 family members and this was the first break I'd had for 3 years. I was totally gutted to have to cut it short due to the fact my tent was put in the middle of the path way to everything and 20ish teenagers were having a blast around me.

I felt great after a night in the countryside so close to the city.

Cabin

Liked Amazing experience. Accommodation is good in cabin as they were specious. However, the bunk beds are slightly awkward to climb for adults but kids are fine with bunk beds. Surrounded by green trees with game facilities like axe and arrow shooting and zip lining. Enjoyed games by both kids and adults. Claire, Aeron and other helpers are amazing hosts. I recommend staying there more than 2 or 3 days to enjoy the area. Sea (Great Yarmouth ) is about 40 mins away.

Liked Lovely place to stay! They were super friendly and helpful.

Shower and toilets were good, the 'kitchen' area had everything we needed.
Fresh eggs onsite were also very appreciated!

The cabin was clean and tidy - basic but that was expected. The mattresses on the bunk beds were really comfy. There was lots of space for us, although we were four adults, one child and one dog in an 8 person cabin.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would 100% stay there again!

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).
