1/8

Peaceful rural site on the edge of Thetford Forest
Easy access to Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and the Norfolk coast
Fishing pond on site stocked with carp, tench and roach

Duck down here if you seek a peaceful and friendly park with immaculate amenities, loads of scenic green space, fine fishing, roomy pitches and a family-friendly vibe – all on the edge of a forest with easy access to days out of all flavour. Directly on the edge of Thetford Forest (Britain’s biggest manmade lowland forest, woodland fact fans), Puddledock Farm Caravan Site is well placed for the Broads and the Norfolk coast at Cromer, Great Yarmouth and Holkham, and Norfolk’s towns and cities like Norwich and Bury St Edmunds. It's prime hiking and cycling territory too: the Peddars Way passes close to the site and 26 trails are around to hike in Thetford Forest. The tree-lined park is spacious and well laid out, with its own fishing pond stocked with carp, tench and roach, a dog walk directly off site and excellently-kept and warm amenities. The site caters for families (immediate members) and couples only – bookings from all other forms of groups are not accepted, and tents are not permitted on site.
