Activities
It's a short drive (or long cycle) to the Norfolk Broadswhere you can hire boats for the day or dabble around in a canoe, while the coast is around 40 minutes by car – Southwold is probably the closest coastal town. Explore the pretty harbour or try your luck out on the famous pier. Recently revamped and renovated, it, too, is delightfully retro with deliberately low key attractions. It takes 5 minutes from the campsite to reach the beautiful market town of Loddon, home to a magnificent parish church cutting a n imposing presence off the main square. Pop your head in and take a look. It's 10 minutes further to Bungay, built within a meander of the River Waveney and home to several great gastro pubs (see food & drink).Food & Drink
Guests are supplied with a very popular, locally sourced breakfast hamper containing (among other things) sausages, bacon, milk, bread, eggs, and potentially the best brownies ever from the local deli (vegetarian and vegan options also available). There are also plenty of top pubs within a 15 minutes drive, a particular favourite is The Castle Inn (01986 892283) in Bungay. There are plenty of farm shops, a twice monthly Saturday farmers market in Loddon. There's also an abundance of local vineyards and breweries in the area including Flint Vineyard (www.flintvineyard.com), Grain (01986 788884), Adnams (01502 727225) and St Peters(01986 782322).Location
