  • Half an hour's drive from the beaches of the Norfolk coast
The kilns may be old but the facilities – them’s all set for the 21st century. In fact, The Old Brick Kilns has got things so well sorted it’s even won awards for its offerings. All your everyday needs have been considered by the thoughtful folk at this peaceful rural site: there's a launderette that takes card payments, a tourist info point stacked with handy pointers and first-rate washrooms with underfloor heating. The shop’s shelves are filled with various essentials and treats, and you can call in a day ahead to order warm bread and fresh croissants for a leisurely breakfast. If you’re here at the right time, site staff can sort your evening drinks too: the bar is open on certain nights, with ales and ciders up for grabs. Should you choose to lounge about on site for a bit (as indeed you should…) there are wildflower meadows to skip through and a fishing pond that you’re welcome to dangle your rod into for a small charge. A playground, table tennis and games room are all on hand for the entertainment of small people. This nifty Norfolk location, 15 minutes from Fakenham, has you well placed for all sorts of outings too – beaches, nature reserves and stately homes are all within a half-hour drive. Guests travelling with wheelchairs or buggies will be chuffed to note that this is a pleasingly accessible site, with plenty of ramps and firm pathways to aid manoeuvres around the place.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (adults only)

Liked: We stayed over the Easter weekend and the site was full. However, it was very quiet and peaceful. We were in the adult only section. Warm welcome at reception. Clean modern showers and toilets. We didn’t try any of the food onsite but meals , a bar and pastries were available. We have a dog and there is an onsite dog walk with bins so it was very clean and tidy. Well situated for the coast and NT Fellbrigg Hall and Sheringham Park. Free Wi-Fi worked very well..

Disliked: Nothing

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (adults only)

Liked: A great site, with everything you’ll need a a few days stay, it was our first time visiting and we will be back. Fantastic takeaway menu with lots of variety, but make sure you book a time slot as early in the day as possible - as gets booked fast. Highly recommend the Chicken Katsu burger!!

We were in the adults only section, close to facilities down some steps, only a couple of showers and loos, and it does get busy at peak times. But they are spotless..

The site is on various levels, but easy assessable by all.

Fab place.. will be back

Local attractions

The good folk of Norfolk know a thing or two about gorgeous coastlines, so it’s highly recommended that you bag a bit of beach time while you’re here: the great sandy swathes at Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham are both about half an hour away by car. With coast comes wildlife, and the places to find creatures around here are the RSPB reserve at Titchwell Marsh (35 minutes’ drive) and the boat trips that leave Morston Quay (20 minutes) to see England’s biggest seal colony, which hangs out on or around Blakeney Point. It’s not all about the coast, however – inland’s got plenty of treats to offer too: give the Queen a wave at Sandringham (half an hour’s drive), wander through 100 acres of fragrant lavender fields in Heacham (35 minutes) and sniff out some history at medieval Walsingham (15 minutes) or the stately homes Blickling Estate and Houghton Hall (both 25 minutes).
