Springfield Farm Campsite

28 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents10 acres · Gedney Hill, LincolnshireGeneral 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.

Camping and glamping in Wells-next-the-Sea

In the middle of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Wells-next-the-Sea is highly recommended for camping and glamping holidays. The Hipcamp experts have toured Norfolk and the rest of the UK to find sites that we think offer something special. Sometimes that means a perfect pitch for your tent and sometimes that means a luxurious glamping pad with all the bells and whistles you could Hope for. There are bell tents and yurts, shepherd huts and treehouses – all that have had the Hipcamp seal of approval. Wells-next-the Sea is in a part of East Anglia that’s famed for wildlife and the great outdoors so we don’t think there’s any better way to stay. After days out exploring all that Norfolk has to offer you can return to your camping or glamping site near Wells-next-the-Sea, immersed in the natural beauty that makes Norfolk one of the UK’s best-loved holiday destinations.

Things to do in Wells-next-the-Sea

Wells-next-the-Sea is idyllically located between the pine-backed beach of Holkham and the seal-watching hot spot at Blakeney Point. If it’s wildlife you’ve come for, you’ll be spoilt for choice; the whole of the Norfolk coastline is a well-known birding treasure trove and the salt marshes and lagoons surrounding Wells are no exception. Stride out on the Norfolk Coast in either direction and keep your eyes peeled. You can also head to the nearby RSPB’s base at Titchwell or the nature reserves at Holkham or Blakeney to catch sight of huge numbers of breeding and migrating birds.

In Wells-next-the-Sea itself you can spend time on the vast beach at low tide and when the tide comes in try your hand at crabbing from the harbour walls. There’s a great selection of independent shops and eateries, harbourside amusements and a station for the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway. Step aboard one of its little trains to enjoy countryside views from the world’s smallest public railway and, perhaps, visit Walsingham Abbey at the other end of the line. There’s more history to discover at Norfolk’s manor houses. The closest to Wells-next-the-Sea is Holkham Hall but the Queen’s rural residence at Sandringham and the former home of Britain’s first prime minister, Houghton Hall, are also within reach.
