This site offers a variety of pitches, spread over four self-contained areas, some sheltered by conifer belts, some enclosed within the garden setting of the racecourse paddock, and some lining the rails overlooking beautiful countryside. Here you can have a relaxing or an active holiday (or a combination of both) in comfortable and picturesque surroundings with excellent facilities adjacent which include bridge, bowls, table tennis, tennis, archery, rifle shooting, golf and squash. Fakenham itself is an attractive market town (flea market on Thursdays) and is an ideal centre for exploring Norfolk's varied attractions.

The site, owned by The National Trust, is on the banks of the River Great Ouse with spectacular views across the river to the Trust's Houghton Mill, the last working watermill on this river. Milling demonstrations are held every Sunday during the season and visitors can purchase the flour. The site is situated on the fringe of the highly picturesque village of Houghton, with a wealth of timbered and thatched-roof cottages, pub and shops, and the whole surrounding area is a paradise for walkers, bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts. There is an abundance of footpaths and bridleways for walkers, horse riders and cyclists along and across the proliferation of waterways.
