  • Dog-friendly Norfolk site with relaxing fishing lakes and a woodland
  • Half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest’s Go Ape and High Lodge
  • Catfish, carp, tench, silverfish and more over five well-stocked lakes
Anglers and adventurers, get ready, because Fendicks Fishery is a stunning Norfolk site with five well-stocked fishing lakes and a mature woodland, just half an hour’s drive from Thetford Forest. Out there, there’s plenty of adventuring to be done, with High Lodge and its Go Ape centre as a good starting point. There's a well-balanced atmosphere at this site, as the team have worked hard over the years to manage and landscape the grounds so that there’s a good combination of nature and fishing. Anglers have access to five lakes with a variety of fish up for grabs, including catfish (weighing in at over 95 lbs), carp, tench, silverfish and more. With 32 acres of mature woodland surrounding the lake, peaceful and scenic are two words that accurately Fendicks Fishery. Plus, there’s a splendid set-up in terms of facilities, with a toilet and shower block that’s kept toasty by underfloor heating, a washing-up area, washing machines, information room, Elsan points and the reception area. All the grassy pitches have access to electric hook-up (how handy). When you’re not unwinding around the acres of space around this well-kept site or spending an afternoon fishing, you could take off onto the miles of paths around Thetford Forest or head further out onto the Norfolk coast, which will take you around an hour’s drive or just over.

The Norfolk Horn shepherd's hut

Liked Really quaint accomodation for me and 2 dogs for a weekend. The hut is well kitted out and makes good use of a fairly small space. It had more plug sockets and charging points than you usually get in this kind of accommodation. The site itself is really well run, with friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely go back there.

Disliked The rain, but that wasn't Fendick's Fishery's fault. 😂

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked The ease of booking in at the site, and the cafe/bar staff were very pleasant and accommodating with our group of 9 campers. Nice to get a refund on the electric which wasn't used.

Disliked Not having the toilet block near to our pitches open. It was a pain getting to the open toilet block from the far side of the site. I don't think it was very clear, when booking, that the electric had to be paid on arrival. I thought it was all included in the original price. No site maps available.

Cabin (hot tub)

Liked We (my husband and I, our 9 year old fishing-mad son, and my parents) have just come back from 3 days/2 nights at Fendicks Fishery. We absolutely loved it - the entire site is so immaculate and well-kept, our cabins were beautiful and absolutely spotless with comfy beds, warm shower and a super stocked kitchen and despite only catching one little fish just before we left, my son had a great time on his first "fishing holiday". The staff were all so lovely and friendly - from bar staff when we checked in to the lady who took the fishing payments, to the restaurant staff. A special shout out to Tom who is a total legend and couldn't be more helpful if he tried! He was around on the day we arrived and checked in to see if we were ok. Last night we attempted to start the hot tub and were a little unsure - he came within minutes, sorted us out and stayed until we were sure we knew what we were doing! What a lovely guy.
The food at the restaurant is a-ma-zing. Between the 5 of us we had different lunches one day and different mains the next and they were all so delicious, high quality meals and so well presented too.
Thank you Fendicks Fishery - my son is already asking when we can come back!

Disliked nothing!

Local attractions

Head to High Lodge (half an hour’s drive) to kickstart your tour of Thetford Forest. There are all sorts of ways to become one with the forest, from hiring out a Segway, taking an archery lesson or finding your zen with forest yoga. Go Ape Thetford (half an hour) will require a little bravery and some acrobatic skills for its treetop courses and zipwires, but on the ground, there are three cycling trails and four footpaths to follow from High Lodge. If you’re looking to find some places where the kids are likely to be entertained, Banham Zoo (35 minutes) is one such place, as are Melsop Farm Park (35 minutes) and Church Farm Stow Bardolph (15 minutes), two farm parks with a variety of animals and farm-style activities. A day at the coast is also possible from this site… just pick your seafront of choice. Perhaps Hunstanton (55 minutes) and Cromer (an hour and 20 minutes) to the north, or Great Yarmouth (an hour and 10 minutes) to the east? Towards the coast is Bressingham Steam & Gardens (40 minutes), a nice choice to see working steam locomotives in the flesh.
