Birds, Bunnies and Beer
If peace, quiet, birds galore and an abundance of wildlife is your idea of the ideal campsite, try giving Compton Hall in South Creake Norfolk a visit.
Considering it is a working farm with pigs, sheep, cattle and arable you don’t hear a thing except the birdsong.
We were treated to the sight of three young hares gambolling around our van and I lost count of the different types of birds.
The dog friendly site has EHU spaced all around the 2+ acre field, so no one need feel cramped. The field is rather sloping so would advise to make sure you have some blocks with you, even though there are several flat spots where none would be needed.
The site boasts a shower which costs 50p put into the cutest “Honesty” box I have ever seen. There is also a toilet and all was clean and functional. Outside were the recycle and general rubbish bins.
There is also a file with a list of birds to look out for and also places to visit.
The owner was very friendly and drove over to our van to say hello and tell us where everything was.
The village is just a short walk across the field away it sports a pub and you can also buy fresh crabs from a local fisherman a short way from the pub, they also had milk which as there are no shops in the village was very helpful.
The Plume of Feathers pub served good beer and some mouth watering food. It now has new owners who have done a good job of breathing fresh life into the place.
We will definitely be revisiting Compton Hall.
