Setting up at the FABULOUS, Poppyland Caravan Park, Norfolk

Күн бұрын

In this video we make our way to a beautiful, quirky little privately owned caravan park in North Norfolk - Poppyland Caravan Park. Ideally situated for Cromer, Sheringham, North Walsham, Norwich and the Norfolk Broads.
Helen is in the captain seat and drives us there and Dave shows how he sets the caravan up on the pitch. There are some lovely touches on the site and a great dog walk just opposite. We hope you enjoy the video and please leave a comment and subscribe to our channel if you are here for the first time. Thanks for watching, cheers, Helen & Dave

Wishing Bella all the best and glad to see she is responding well. She has clearly found the best possible home with you both and obviously gives you great joy and love in return for the love and care you give her. They certainly do become an important part of the family in very short order. Poppylands has been on our radar for some time, pass it so often and will likely try and grab a weekend there before winter. We are now looking at more sites “on the doorstep”, up to an hour away from home, just to keep costs sensible and is something we will do more of next year for certain. I guess that fridge honesty box soon became full to overflowing in no time…..( maybe a good job there was no license to sell alcohol?) 😏

In terms of wifi we just stream via our phones, so obviously we are dependant upon good coverage but we have O2 unlimited data and most of the time we have good coverage. Sat Nav wise we use Aguiri.
