- Award-winning family-owned north Norfolk holiday park
- Within the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, a mile from Cromer
- Dog-friendly site with woodland walks and popular restaurant
How would you like to stay at an award-winning holiday park with walks through sheltered tree groves, a sun patio to bask on, plenty of play areas for the youngsters and hilltop viewpoints taking in a sandy beach, the Norfolk coastline and the famed golf course at Royal Cromer? You would? Then take the family tree to Forest Park, a pristinely pretty park set among 100 acres of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape.
As the name suggests, there are woodland walks on site – and not just that but also a fairy trail to get the kids exploring. There's also a play area and a flock of Norfolk Horn sheep on site to meet. Wander around the site and you may just spot the beehives too; the honey made here is for sale on site. For other foodie needs, head to the Forester's restaurant/bar (which hosts a busy entertainment programme in summer), or pop into the site's shop, which sells a good range of local produce (including local beers and handmade cakes) alongside snacks, newspapers and other essentials. It's also the place to go for your morning coffee and croissant.
Forest Park is a mile's walk from both Overstrand beach and the seaside town of Cromer, famed for its pier and its tasty seafood. Dogs are welcome to join you for a stay at this park, and there's an off-lead exercise area where they can run about if you don't have time for the walk to the beach.

Local attractions
From Forest Park you can see the village of Overstrand, which has a beach; from here, walk the mile and a half into Cromer for its funfair, zoo, theatre, museums and that famed Cromer crab (buy in the town or catch your own off the pier). If you’re angling for other fishy treats, try fishing for bass off the pier or taking a boat out to sea to land some cod.
Two long-distance walking routes finish in Cromer: the Norfolk Coast Path which runs 45 miles from here to Hunstanton and the Weavers’ Way, a 56-mile route going to Great Yarmouth. Wildlife including seabirds and seals can be spotted from many places along the coast, with seal-spotting boat trips available from Blakeney (half an hour's drive).
The kids should enjoy days out to places like Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens and the award-winning adventure park BeWILDerwood (both half an hour). Meanwhile, grown-up activity in the area includes exploring Norfolk’s many history and heritage sites: roam around the rhododendrons at Sheringham Park (15 minutes), check out the royal retreat of Sandringham (an hour) or get lost wandering around the Holkham estate (an hour) with beaches, nature reserve, woodland play area and outdoor theatre.
