Glamping at Redricks

41 units · Glamping2 acres · East Anglia, Hertfordshire
Beautiful natural lakes glamping site in East Hertfordshire surrounded by farm and fields. The site has one area for glamping and another for camping guests who bring their own tent. There are showers, toilets and mobile washing up sinks in the fields and cold drinking water, as well as kitchen facilities and a BBQ at each glamping unit. Each bell tent has firepits in the open field but not in the wooded areas. It's a 10-minute drive into Sawbridgeworth (or a lovely gentle half-hour walk beside the River Stort following the Stort Valley Way). In town, take a look around the Tudor House Gallery (01279 600112), gathering treats for yourself from the gift shop, or visit some of the many antique shops in the town. If activities are more your style, then you can make use of the various riding stables that are dotted around Sawbridgeworth and Harlow. Hoskins Farm Riding Stables (01279722165) is less than 10 minutes' drive away and caters for all experience levels. The art gallery, Parndon Mill (01279426042) is also nearby taking just over 10 minutes to reach, they have lots of arts and crafts exhibitions and also host various art classes throughout the week. There are several good pubs within walking distance of Glamping at Redricks. The Moorhen (01279 423066) is over a half-hour walk away – casual and relaxed and good for families with kids, you can enjoy their wide range of beers, wines and dinner options in their sunny beer garden. Half an hour's walk will also get you to The Plume of Feathers (01279 424154), where they have a new stone-baked pizza oven and a patio with an outdoor bar, and The Dusty Miller (01279424180) – both are in nearby Gilston.

Springfield Farm Campsite

28 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents10 acres · Gedney Hill, Lincolnshire
General Family- and dog-friendly site in the Lincolnshire Fens Adventurers’ haven: walking, biking and riding routes, and boat hire Slow-paced site: golfing and fishing less than 10 minutes’ walk away Don your explorers’ cap for oodles of hiking, biking, riding and boating… At Springfield Farm Campsite, a family-friendly site half an hour’s drive from Spalding market town in Lincolnshire, they’re all part of a relaxing getaway. Inside the Lincolnshire Fens, Springfield Farm is a prime jumping-off spot for exploration of this part of Cambridgeshire – there are tons of trails criss-crossing the Fens that should suit cyclists, ramblers and horseback riders down to the marshland ground, and you can hire a narrowboat for a day of tootling along the Fens’ small rivers in March (30 minutes away). For that sedate experience, net yourself some prime lakeside seating and cast a line out at North View Fishing Lakes, less than a minute’s drive or 10 minutes’ walk from the site, or play a round at the neighbouring Gedney Hill Golf Course instead. Back on site, there’s play equipment, petting animals, table tennis, football and basketball for the whole family – even your pups will be kept busy with a few turns in the enclosed dog walk area. Once you’ve all worked up an appetite, head to the shared kitchen or fire up the barbecue and get to cooking (you can grab supplies from the grocery store two minutes down the road or one of the larger supermarkets in Wisbech, half an hour away). If you’d prefer a change of scenery, try one of the restaurants within 15 minutes of Springfield Farm.

The vibrant, compact city of Norwich in Norfolk is just a stone's throw from the Norfolk Broads and less than half an hour from the coast. The result? There's a whole host of local Norwich campsites, which sit right on the outskirts of the vibrant county capital. In the morning you can wake up to the sun rising over the dewy grass of the campsite, and, by day, you can explore the delights of the city: Norwich Castle, Norwich Cathedral, the narrow shopping lanes and the magnificent Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts.

Camping and glamping in Norwich

Camping and glamping in Norwich and the surrounding area offer fabulous ways to holiday in Norfolk. Yes, it’s a city – but it’s a compact, historic and enchanting one that’s perfectly placed as a base for camping and glamping holidays where you’re looking to discover all of Norfolk. It’s also the only city in the UK that’s within a national park – The Broads, in case you haven’t worked it out. Choose from the camping and glamping sites we’ve handpicked for the Hipcamp collection and you’ll be within reach of the city sights as well as The Norfolk Broads, the stunning North Norfolk Coast and traditional seaside resorts. Our experts have sought out the best sites in the area so whether you prefer pitching your own tent or staying in a luxury glamping pad there should be something (almost) within sight of the city spires to suit you. There are classic campsites with back-to-basics vibes and campsites with electric hook ups and space for campervans. When it comes to glamping in Norwich and the near area, you’ll have a wide range to choose from with bell tents, shepherd’s huts, vintage caravans and more all within reach of Norwich.

Things to do in Norwich

Looking for things to do in Norwich during your camping and Glamping Holiday? You might like to start at the city’s answer to the Millennium Dome, The Forum. Inside this glass-fronted modern building, is the Norwich Tourist Information Centre – among other things. The impressively large library, a host of eateries and regular events are all hosted here. Back on the city streets, there’s a mix of independent and high street shops and plenty for history buffs and architecture fans to admire. Norwich has a Norman castle, medieval buildings, an art deco city hall and not one but two cathedrals – the 900-year-old Romanesque spired Norwich Cathedral and the Victorian Gothic revivalist, St John the Baptist Cathedral. It's also got a lot of art galleries, not least of which is the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts - associated with the city's University of East Anglia and one of Britain's most prominent university art galleries.

The River Wensum wends its way through Norwich and you can walk along its banks to see more of the city sights including the 14th-century Cow Tower. It's a tributary of the River Yare, which it meets outside the city, making for a direct and watery link into Whitlingham Great Broad and The Broads in general. The water here is surrounded by Whitlingham Country Park, a great place for walking, cycling, wildlife-watching and, of course, boating. The Yare meets the sea at Great Yarmouth. As one of the UK’s best-known seaside resorts, it’s the place to go to for a day by the seaside with amusements, entertainment and arcades. If you prefer the wilder side of the coastline head, instead, for Holkham where there are vast dunes and pine-backed beaches or to Blakeney to see seals and birdlife on the vast shingle banks. Visit the tourist information centre in Norwich city centre or their website for more information on things to do while you’re camping in Norfolk.
