Can’t decide between a bit of farm life, bright city lights and refreshing coastal explores? Ditch the dithering and pack the whole lot into one stay at Two Jays Farm: our small, family-friendly farm is in Horstead, a 20-minute drive from Norwich and half an hour from Norfolk’s beaches. You’ll be in good company here – in the adjacent fields your neighbours will be the farm's resident horses, goats and chickens, and you're welcome to bring along a four-legged pal of your own if you've got a dog that fancies the trip. Canine companion or no, this is a fine spot for getting out for a walk. Set off on foot or cycle along woodland paths and riverbanks to take in sights like the Bure Valley Railway, Horstead Mill on the River Bure (where you can jump into the water for a wild swim if it's getting a tad warm) and pretty market towns along the way. Your reward at the end of a lengthy walk – perhaps a good feed at one of the nearby foodie pubs? The nearest is less than 10 minutes walk from the site, and there are a few more to choose from – along with some takeaways and a supermarket – in nearby Coltishall village, which is a 20-minute walk away (or a few minutes drive).

This stunning church is huge yet cosy, and sits in a quiet spot overlooking patchwork green fields and the wide blue yonder. It’s unusual to find such an architectural masterpiece in a quiet country lane, just 12 miles north of Norwich and 20 miles from the Norfolk coast. St Michael the Archangel is in prime outdoorsy countryside, with plenty of ways for you to enjoy fresh air and excitement.

St Michael the Archangel

Up to two good dogs are very welcome – or three, if they’re very small…

The slender towers of the church of St Michael the Archangel dominate the wide East Anglian landscape for miles around. This amazingly decorative and extraordinary building was the creation of one man – eccentric clergyman Reverend Whitwell Elwin – a descendant of Pocahontas. Elwin not only raised the funds for the building, he also designed it – without the help of an architect – borrowing details from other churches throughout the country.

We have been lifelong campers and have passed the love of outdoor life to our two (grown up) children.   In fact, it started with Duncan’s parents.  Dad Brian said “It doesn’t matter if you come out of a five star hotel or a tent, so long as you have slept warm, dry and comfortable”. We understand what makes a great camping experience and have taken this to the next level with Hengrave Glamping!

We are open from 1st May – 30th September only

Eves Hill Farm is a family run mixed arable and grassland farm of nearly 400 acres.
We, the Buxton family, have been farming at Eves Hill since 1960 with Jeremy Buxton the third generation to be running the farm, in partnership with parents, Robert and Rita.
Eves Hill Farm has a long history of cattle farming. Today, we are breeders of fine native pedigree poll Hereford cattle, complemented by a commercial suckler herd. We also grow spring barley, winter wheat and oil seed rape.
Eves Hill is managed under the High Level Stewardship (HLS) scheme. Over the past few years, we have planted miles of hedgerows, new woodlands and hundreds of native trees. Field margins have been established with wild flowers to attract insects, especially pollinators like bees and butterflies. This has created new and diverse habitats, preserved the local landscape and made a wonderful environment to farm and for our Hereford herd to live in.
The farm is host to a huge array of different birds and animals. Birdlife includes buzzards, skylarks, game birds (including grey partridge), song birds and owls to name but a few. We have successfully introduced English partridges, who are now nesting on the farm, and our population of lapwings is growing.
We plant areas of bird feed to help the bird population on the farm through the winter and owl boxes have been erected around the farm in conjunction with the Hawk & Owl Trust.
It is also very common to see hares on our fields, and many deer roaming around the farm.
Visitors are welcome: just let us know when you’d like to come and we will do our best to accommodate you.

**Whitlingham Broad Campsite** is an absolute corker; lovers of the great outdoors will find everything they need and bags more at this unique, friendly, well run and brilliantly situated campsite.  Just a short stroll to the historic city of **Norwich** and in 80 acres of beautiful countryside on the edge of the **Norfolk Broads National Park**, this campsite couldn’t be better placed to enjoy some of the very best of what **Norfolk** has to offer.

There is a wide variety of awesome accommodation here and something for everyone; the quandary might be choosing which one to book.  If you have your own kit, there is a simple camping field with lots of grassy pitches, all with glorious views across the Country Park.  One field is tents only and vehicle free so super safe for the kids gadding about; the other field allows tents, small campervans and small motorhomes - all wonderfully electricity free - so it is chilled out, fuss-free,family friendly camping at its best here.  There’s an excellent amenities block, an outdoor washing up area and in between the two fields, there is an epic wooden adventure playground.  A handy shop selling camping essentials, snacks and lots more is onsite -  and they’ll even charge your phone for you.

If you haven’t got your own camping gear, a bevvy of glamping alternatives await.  Choose from one of their lovely boutique bell tents, decked out in funky vintage decor and sleeping 6, or the cosy shepherds hut for 3 with a woodburning stove for colder evenings.  There are also two fabulous converted railway good wagons - Bertie and Ronnie - for a stay with a difference, or a beautiful and spacious **Mongoliglan yurt**; all these three have their own decking area, a woodburner and a hammock for lazing about.  And - new for 2021 - the creative geniuses that run Whitlingham Broad Campsite have built two **Woodland dens**; luxury **treehouses** raised up off the woodland floor on stilts, with breathtaking views out across the countryside. 

You’ll want to stay here for weeks, not days.  The surrounding countryside is awesome, and the very welcoming owners know a vast amount about the area and are on hand to give any advice about what to see and do.  There are many ways to explore the great outdoors here; grab a bike and cycle to one of the local villages, drive out to the coast and take a boat trip to see the seal colonies at Horsey, hire a canoe (just a few minutes from the campsite) and explore the Norfolk Broads from the water or walk one of the many pretty trails in the surrounding 80 acres of Whitlingham Country Park.  For winter sports lovers, Norfolk Snowsports is just down the road from the campsite where you can ski, snowboard, or just bomb down the dry slopes on an inflatable tube.  Two miles away is the lovely city of **Norwich** with its beautiful Castle - now a museum - packed with galleries of archaeology, natural history and art; the city also has some excellent restaurants, pubs and independent shops and is well worth a day trip.

At the end of a long day exploring some of Norfolk’s best bits, head back to **Whitlingham** **Campsite** and light a fire (fire pits can be hired if you don’t have your own), sit back and watch the sun setting….from your tent, yurt, treehouse in the woods or whatever your den for the night might be.  This is an outdoor adventure at its very best; a wonderful family friendly campsite with bags to do, lots to see and some fabulous adventures to be had.

Whitlingham Broad Campsite

The Leas Beach Park is a small, family run, holiday caravan park offering self-catering caravan holidays. Next to a beautiful sandy beach in the quiet village of Bacton, it's on the North Norfolk Coast between the larger coastal resorts of Cromer and Great Yarmouth and near the Norfolk broads. An ideal base from which to explore the wider attractions of Norfolk, the Norfolk Broads and the North Norfolk Coast.

The locals see this as a testament to the battle between man and sea having its gorgeous stretch of sand and sloping seawall. Us however, it is simply outstanding coastline if you ask! See for yourself at Walcott Beach (Walcott Gap).This is a beach that is sandy lots to help keep your mini merpeople busy. Team two days out in one and touch the right path to victory with a round of crazy golf. It's a vintage for reasons. Water infants can paddle into the shallows or have actually a swim that is correctly splashy the sea. That is an area that is great surfing so if you don't mind getting damp, have a go at hanging ten! Then, just take some slack through the coastline and let your wildlings loose on the amusement that is nearby.If you're intending on making a day from it, employ a deck chair to kick back once again with watching the young ones play. You can also get all out and hire a beach hut - especially handy once the rainfall clouds come a-calling. Oh, and the city that is nearest to your beach is North Walsham.

Colourful coastline huts, a promenade that is long golden sands compensate this little spot of seaside loveliness. See for yourself at Mundesley Beach.this is certainly a beach that is sandy plenty to help keep your mini merpeople busy. Children always love an area of stone pooling, specially when they spy a crab or two. It is a spot that is great surfing so if you never mind getting damp, have a go at hanging ten! If the breeze is type your activities which are little could take to their hand at windsurfing. Then, with lots to catch.There are also lifeguards on duty which is always welcome news as a parent in the event that you fancy fishing, it's outstanding environment for it. Oh, and also the town that is nearest to your beach is North Walsham.
