Time to escape from modern life and spend some time reconnecting with the natural world? Go Wild Camping and Glamping could well be just the spot – this secluded, back-to-basics Norfolk site is right in the centre of Thetford Forest, making it a wonderful place to slow down and soak up some woodland peace for a while. The forest is the star here, of course – stay here and you'll be surrounded by natural views, from the trees towering above your head to the meadow grasses at ground level. There’s lots of wildlife to look out for too, and after dark the big open skies are filled with glittering stars (and, in even better news, you're welcome to light a campfire or barbecue for warmth and outdoor meals while you look up into the heavens). If you're keen to keep active, you're not short of ways to do so, as the High Lodge visitor centre is easily walkable from the site and has a Go Ape course, adventure play areas and a café as well as info about all your walking and cycling trail options. Try activities like mountain biking (on the pump track or Hit The Dirt track), tree climbing and wild swimming in the forest, before having a picnic at one of the forest's scenic picnic areas. To help preserve the natural setting, facilities have been kept fairly simple – you'll have access to toilets, showers and a washing-up area but you'll need to bring your own drinking water. Groups, families, couples and hikers are all welcome, and it’s also a dog-friendly site.
