Rose Orchards Wild Camping

You have a choice of riverside strolls direct from the pitches, including one route that takes you through Barsham and along the River Stiffkey. Another scenic walk wends through the scenic Waveney Valley on the Angles Way, as it makes its way along the River Waveney through the cute little market town of Bungay (10 minutes’ drive). If you’re keen to go boating, you can hire canoes and paddleboards from Beccles Lido (five minutes) to float down the river. Otherwise, Oulton Broad (25 minutes) is at the southern end of the Broads National Park, with access to day boat hire, dinghy sailing and wingsurfing (an adrenaline-inducing blend of windsurfing and paddleboarding. Turning towards the coast, you can get to lively Southwold in 25 minutes by road, for an afternoon of browsing its upscale boutiques, splashing about in the sea and eating fish and chips on the pier. Lowestoft (half an hour) is another popular seaside resort with golden sands and a pleasant promenade; just north of the town is Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park (35 minutes), a sure-fire hit with the kids for its thrill rides.
