Wiveton Hall - norfolk
ABTC at Wiveton Hall
Wiveton Hall Farm lays between the fishing hamlets of Cley and Blakeney on the stunning North Norfolk Coastline. The house is a dreamy, flint-faced Dutch-gabled, Jacobean Manor House, built in the 17th century. This is an English stately home and working farm. The unique atmosphere combined with the fabulous fresh food available to eat in the wonderful quirky cafe, or al fresco under the pines with sea views over the marshes, make it one North Norfolk’s favourite foodie venues.
Twixt salt marsh and the pines sit x 6 of our 6m cotton bell tents. The site here is more compact with the shelter of the forest on either side. With ropes in the trees to swing from, empty boats to set sail in, and the Wiveton Wendy house to reside in, there is imaginative play to be had here for the children. March to the top of Wiveton Hill and roll down the other side. Visit the piggies, watch the farm birds with their chicks. Play hide and seek on the garden paths. For the grown ups, stroll to the cafe for breakfast, elevenses, lunch, tea, cake, evening pizzas - rest assured, you are catered for on site here, so take the weight off. Or enjoy your own little sheltered nook of North Norfolk with a camp fire cook up.
Note: There are no wood burning stoves in the tents our Wiveton Hall setting. There will still be a fire pit outside your tent for cooking and warming your feet in the evening . All other sites will still have wood stoves in the tents.
The site literally sits on the coastal path - so you can walk straight onto the marsh and into Blakeney with no roads to pass. It's a great spot for messing about on the creeks. Several walks open out across the marshes either in a sweeping loop back to Cley and then onto Wiveton, or for more adventurous hikers, to Morston, Stiffkey, Wells and Holkham. The coast hopper bus runs late into the evening so you can enjoy unspoilt coastal path walks, finish with a pint and hop onto the bus back to camp. Cycling? Our partners drop bikes directly to your tents. Take them on the back lanes, snaking through the quintessential Norfolk villages of Langham, Binham, Warham, it's all just gorgeous, especially when the Hollyhocks are in bloom. Want to get friendly with the locals? Take a seal trip from Morston onto Blakeney Point. Want to swim? The beach at Cley is a favourite evening swimming spot for locals, who cycle down with their picnics to enjoy the bracing waters. It's a 10 minute cycle ride away, through Cley town and then onto the beach road, stopping off first at Picnic Fayre for some take out Norfolk delights.
