Camp Sainte

Wildlife spotters, skip twiddling your thumbs and head straight for Hickling Broad (10 minutes’ drive), where you might spot the rare Swallowtail butterfly that calls this village home. This area is notoriously flat, so exploring on two wheels is a simple solution for those who’d like to glide past the water, spotting birds and taking in the scenery. Your pedals might lead you down to the coast, where there are sandy stretches at Sea Palling (five minutes) and Waxham beaches such as Horsey Gap (15 minutes). The latter is a favourite spot for breeding seals. A spot of sailing or day boat hire too, perhaps? There’s a boatyard 25 minutes’ walk away for just that. Spots with paddleboard hire or lessons can also be tracked down within 10 to 20 minutes’ drive of the site.
