England

Framlingham Castle was built by the Normans in the 12th Century and was home to the dukes of Norfolk for over 400 years (and yes, it's in Suffolk!).
But the castle didn't just feature in Norman times, as it was where Mary Tudor was crowned queen...even if her reign was relatively short.
Today you can walk around the massive castle walls, which have stood for more than 800 years.
There is also a workhouse at Framlingham, which you can visit and see how the town's poorest worked for their keep back from the 17th to 19th centuries.

Framlingham Castle has been voted one of English Heritage's top ten family attractions by visitors.

Want to recreate those childhood holidays that you thought were just distant memories?  
Relax and kick-back whilst your children explore the 3-acre meadow, build dens, make lifelong friends, discover butterflies, pick strawberries, toast marshmallows on the campfire and generally get back to nature.  And if you can bear to tear yourself away, the fabulous seaside towns and beaches of Southwold and Walberswick are a gentle 10 miles away, great for crabbing, paddling, sandcastles and, of course, fish and chips.

We aim to offer all you could want for an enjoyable and relaxing stay, with our fun cob pizza oven as well as the covered safari kitchen, an ace barn with full-sized table tennis and table football, bikes and maps to borrow, crabbing lines and buckets and spades, armchairs and a library of books plus sensible things like charging points, wi-fi, lovely hot showers and flushing loos. 

The 5 yurts are generously spaced in a 3-acre meadow, each sitting on raised decking with its own camping gas stove, campfire and bar-b-q.  Inside, each yurt has a full-sized double bed and single futons for children, complete with lovely warm duvets and blankets for cooler nights, though with the wood-burner going you should be toasty warm!  
We aim to have everything here that you need for a great break, so all you need to worry about is packing your children's favourite toys; on-site you'll find all your cooking equipment, crockery and cutlery, cafetiere (we know how important a good cup of coffee is), bedding, travel cots, matches, fire-lighters, lanterns, pizza equipment and more....
What better than to sit out as the sun goes down, enjoying an al-fresco meal as you watch the swallows skim the meadow and then see the bats come out as dusk settles, whilst the tawny owls hoot in the trees and then star-gaze the with the Milky Way arcing above.  In the morning, take a luxurious Woodland Shower - with piping hot water this is a delight at any time of the day (or night) - and you can hear the bullfinches whistling and occasionally see a rabbit hopping through.  Heaven!  
There's plenty to do around and about and we have lots of information once you get here as well as on our website.  We're always happy to recommend local favourites and our guests are great at sharing their favourite things with us too.

Ling’s Meadow is a small, friendly and relaxed eco campsite on the Norfolk and Suffolk border. Our passion is the outdoors and living sustainably within it, and we are particularly keen to encourage kids to get out and explore. We have three of our own and they provide us with lots of new ideas!

Disappearing amongst 4 acres of meadow grass are five tent pitches, two pre-pitched bell tents, a canvas StarDome and a Living van &amp; Shepherd’s hut. All have their own seating areas and fire pits with grills for cooking. For a true Slow camping adventure we have set the pre-pitched bells up with their own canvas tarp bushcamp shelter, kindling rocket stoves, kelly kettles and cast iron pans.

We are always experimenting with new alternative technology and have two spacious composting loos and a solar and wood heated shower on site. We are off-grid and use solar power to provide lighting and power for a small freezer for freezer blocks. The campsite is a car-free zone.
The timber framed camp kitchen is the central hub of the site and here you will find ideas for days out, local maps, walking and cycling routes, wildlife spotter guides and a bug hunting kit. Campers are helping us to monitor the species on our meadow so there is also a logbook to make a note of your discoveries.

One of the favourite games on the campsite is running along the mown paths in the meadow grass, but we also have an explorer area with logs for climbing on and a mud kitchen. You will also find the stick den here and materials to make it your own.

Just next door to the campsite are green lanes with walks to local shops, child-friendly pubs and a park with tree trunks to climb on. You can explore our 80 acre farm on a walk just for our campers. It takes you past our clover fields and herbal leys and our alpacas and sheep. We have a bike shelter to store your bikes and even some to borrow for free if you fancy exploring further afield!

Toasting marshmallows around the communal campfire is a must when you are camping and we also have a cob pizza oven so that you can have a go at making and cooking your favourite pizzas. Our local farm shop is just down the road and has all the supplies that you need for your cooked breakfast or BBQ.

So if you are looking for Slow camping adventure and don’t mind sharing your campsite with barn owls, deer, hare and butterflies, come join us and rediscover the great outdoors!

Rushbanks Farm Caravan and Camping Site is set in the heart of Dedham Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The region was immortalised by the famous paintings of John Constable, and is thus known as ‘Constable Country.`

Rushbanks Farm is the only official site on the banks of the River Stour, close to the charming Suffolk village of Nayland which is characterised by picturesque 15th-century buildings.

It is a site with good facilities offering an original and family-friendly atmosphere, especially catering for boaters and canoeists. The river is wide and deep and there are a mile and a half of unobstructed water. There are several landing stages, and launching over the bank is easy.

A public footpath also crosses our farm, with several walking trails to choose from, including a forty-minute cross-country walk to the pub.

Rushbanks Farm welcomes families who want to enjoy themselves, whilst providing many opportunities for nature lovers and those who want to explore the great outdoors – or others who just want to relax and wind down around a campfire under the stars at night.
