Crossways Caravan Site

For beach days and walks along the pier, it’s a half-hour drive to seaside Cromer. A slightly wilder coast can be experienced at Hunstanton, also half an hour, where you can be wowed by the wonders of the SEA Life Sanctuary and take boat trips out to visit the seal colony or try fishing from the waves. The saltmarshes and wetlands of the coast are a paradise for birds and those who watch them; head half an hour to the RSPB reserve at Titchwell Marsh for wilderness walks spotting bearded tits and marsh harriers, and fine views from the beach across The Wash. Inland, and also half an hour from base, Sheringham Park has a fine spread of walks and bike trails; more energetic pedallers can try the 20-mile route through the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, between Wells-next-the-Sea (20 minutes from the site) and Hunstanton. Wells makes a great starting point for shorter coast walks and rides. If members of your party want bigger thrills, take the 45-minute trip to BeWILDerwood for an adventure land of treehouses, zip wires and jungle bridges. If you’re more into national treasures, lavish interiors and extensive parklands, it’s half an hour to Holkham Hall – and Sandringham, home to H.M. The Queen but also open to you, is 40 minutes away.
