11th August 2009
Just returned from a great time camping. We packed our tent and other bits and bobs and headed for the Pinewoods Holiday Park in Wells-next-the-Sea. The holiday park has an area which is just for tents named ‘The Horse Paddock’. You pick where ever you want to pitch your tent and are left to it. There are portaloos in the Paddock area and toilet/shower/washing up blocks are situated throughout the rest of the site. Personally I prefer the Paddock, we can tuck ourselves away in the furthest corner and not be bothered by anyone. For those that haven’t been to Wells, it’s approximately a mile from the harbour area to the beach area (which is where pinewoods can be found) It’s a lovely walk and it’ll make you feel like you’ve earned your fish and chips, best bought from the well known French’s, nearly always a queue, but well worth the wait. yum yum.
Whenever you visit Wells be sure to visit Whin Hill Cider (as long as you like cider that is) Great cider, tastes so good and staff are so friendly (especially Fred!)
For the first time this year we used the little train.
Rob on the Train
The train goes from the Harbour to the campsite. You pay per person and depending upon whether you’re an adult or a child (dogs go on for free, well our little puppy did 
) It’s great for those that would find it a struggle to walk that far or who don’t want to take the car. (you have to pay to park at the beachside car parks) The beach is plenty big enough and on the majority of it you can take doggies all year round.
On the way back, we always have to pop into Hunstanton (aka Sunny Hunny) – for a lookey around and a beer and a donut – best donut stand can be found at the bottom of the green overlooking the sea. great prices and great taste. We found a lovely pub overlooking the sea, had lovely local beer.
