We received a very warm welcome on arriving at the site just after one pm. Fortunately we were able to slow down on the NDR to avoid being early. We have been to the site numerous times and often had the same pitch. We had a change this time and as a warden once told us a different pitch is a different holiday. We always enjoy Wroxham although the river there is not that accessible. The best bit of a Great Yarmouth visit is a stroll along the front from the Waterways to the Pleasure Beach. We visited Horsey Mill and did a circular walk to the coast and back via the Nelson Head. A circular drive taking in Wroxham, Woodbastwick, (Woodfordes Brewery) Ranworth ( including the Broad, Church with 89 steps to the top, the Granuary coffee shop ), South Walsham , Potter Heigham ( River Thurne, Boats , Lathams and the Bridge Stores for coffee) Ludham ( Church , Stores and a brilliant Butchers. With Womack Water nearby, and back to the site. It’s a pleasant walk from the site to the village following the local red route which can be extended visiting St Benets Abbey via a public footpath close to the site, or carrying on down Hall Common Road and round to the village centre. How Hill ( The Secret Garden a must) can be visited on another circular walk starting by the river and returning across fields. Apart from a short section of a busy road near the site it’s possible to walk from the site to Wroxham via Horning by footpath. The Norfolk Wildlife Trust has some local reserves to visit the largest adjacent to Hickling Broad. We enjoyed meals at the Dog Inn where a good selection of ales were available. Two helpful publications, Mary and Normans Guide to the Broads and around (free at the site) and Walking and Exploring the Northern Broads, all pretty close to the site, sold at Ludham Bridge stores along with most anything else you will want. Norfolk is great for cycling with many minor roads in the immediate area, cycles are available to hire in several locations. There are attractive pubs and tea rooms many by a river or a Broad to visit. Garden centres in abundance, a few farm shops around to. All the above without travelling miles. If you want a retail buzz perhaps on a wet day? There are a few buses from outside the site that run to Norwich otherwise there is a Park & Ride at Sprowston a few miles away. The facilities are excellent, with sizeable well spaced pitches. The wardens were friendly and did a good job keeping the site in a great shape. Often working in the evening particular on the garden areas and boxes with the summer bedding plants. ( Helpful tips from Libby to). We had a great time and can’t wait to return.
