ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIR – AND A FAVOURITE ROYAL RETREAT
START in Norwich and head 64km south to arty Aldeburgh. This was composer Benjamin Britten’s home and he’s remembered (with some controversy) with the Scallop, a 3.5metre sculpture on its pebble beach. Stay at Beach View Holiday Park.
Drive 64km up the coast and throw yourself into the traditional seaside atmosphere of Great Yarmouth. Enjoy candy floss, arcade games, a pier, and fish and chips on the beach. Stay at the Caravan Club’s Great Yarmouth Racecourse site.
Leave the coast behind and head 27km inland to the pretty village of Horning. Rent a boat to mess about on the Broads, then relax in a waterside pub. Stay at the Caravan Club’s Norfolk Broads site.
Taste sea air again just 32km away in Cromer. Go crabbing on the beach or grab a crab sandwich near the Victorian pier. Stay at the Forest Park caravan site.
Head 32km west to the colourful beach huts and sandy shores of Wells-next-the-Sea. It’s pretty, peaceful and perfect for picnics. Explore saltmarshes and look for seals basking in the sun. Stay at High Sand Creek campsite.
Take it easy, driving just 13km to Burnham Deepdale. There’s a craft and food market, and the 18th Century Jolly Sailor pub. Stay at Deepdale Farm.
Drive 24km to Sandringham, said to be Queen Elizabeth’s favourite country residence. Take a tour of the house and see the church the royals attend on Christmas Day. Stay at the Caravan Club’s Sandringham Estate site, then it’s 72km back to Norwich.
