Super laid back site
We stayed at Garleiston for 3 nights as a stopover from the Scottish Highlands, on the way back home to West Norfolk.
A super little site – a bit compact but, with three separate areas, it was reasonably quiet & relaxed.
We walked both ways along the coastline, south to the ruins of Cruggleton Point & north to the fort at Eggerness. It was, of course, de rigueur to stop off at the welcoming Harbour Inn for refreshments afterwards!
What we weren’t aware of, until we drove into the village and saw the entrance sign, was the local connection to the testing of the Mulberry Harbours used in the Normandy D-Day landings. There is little physical evidence of this event now but there is a notice board just outside the site giving relevant details.
Such is the dominance of the site in the village, you do wonder how the pub & Post Office survive during the winter months when the site is closed.
Nonetheless, a laid back site in an area that is a bit off the beaten track.
