‘Just about the cleanest, quietest,friendliest, best kept site we’ve had the good fortune to find in about 30 years of caravanning.
Fakenham is an interesting and charming small town, which is adequately provided for with a number of both private shops, supermarkets, and a wonderful Thursday Market, all of which is within an easy and pleasant riverside walk from your pitch at the Racecourse.
Better not forget to mention, the excellent chocolate factory has now opened a ‘mis-shapes’ shop in town, with appropriate prices,yet another temptation!’
