Swallows Flight
We have been using this site since it opened and it never disappoints. It has been our base for "Last Night of the Proms "at Bllickling Hall, "The Jubilee", and "The Coronation", all celebrated with other regulars at the site and with more than a little input from our hosts Bob ,Gay and Stephie. We have just spent another lovely stay and it's our happy place the only downside being having to leave to come home. Thank you Bob, Stephie and Jim and we will never forget "The Duchess of Alby"

Beautiful well maintained site
Swallows Flight
We have just spent 5 nights here in Early April and it wasn’t anywhere near long enough to sample all the delights this area has to offer. But we can recommend a visit to Aylsham garden centre just off the A140. The vernon arms public house is very dog friendly and does good food, Felbrig Hall National trust is nearby too and we’ll worth a visit as is Alby Crafts and that place too is dog friendly, including the excellent cafe there.
As for Swallows flight. What a lovely well kept site. The winner Bob is readily available as is Jim the unofficial site manager, who is a mine of information and very helpful. (Ask him about his sea going adventures in his restored sailing craft!!)
This site is well worth a visit and we’ll positioned to visit all that North Norfolk has to offer. But don’t expect to see it all in one visit!!!
So peaceful and ideally located.
Swallows Flight
Spent 3 nights at this lovely peaceful site. Beautifully maintained, very welcoming and everything you need on site. Hidden gem of a beach (Trimingham beach) close by and Blickling Hall and Alby Crafts and Gardens are both well worth a visit. Highly recommended.
Return visit
Swallows Flight
We’ve visited this CL several times now. Bob is very friendly as is Jim who helps out. We had windy and wet weather interspersed with some dry spells. There is no hard standing and the ground was a little soft. We visited Sheringham Park for a good long walk. Beautiful in the Autumn colours. We walked down to the beach too. We plan a trip back in Spring to see all the Rhododendron in bloom. We also visited Felbrigg. They now have the bottom floor of the building open and also the cafe and the shop. Found the little “secret” beach too. Still lots to see and do left for another visit.

Tranquil seclusion
Swallows Flight
If you want a CL which is well maintained, peaceful and secure, then Swallows Flight will not disappoint. It is secluded, sheltered and well located for visiting the north Norfolk coast and the Broads. There are no stuffy rules about how to locate your caravan and the grass is cut after each departure. There is a resident warden and a security barrier for your peace of mind, but there was nothing to indicate security is a problem, in fact the opposite would be true. Signage from the main road is very helpful but it should be noted that entry lane to the CL (approx 400 yards) is very narrow and would present a problem if encountering a large vehicle coming in the opposite direction (in 9 days I only encountered 3 cars). The only negative comment I would make is with regard to dogs. The owners dog, a small friendly terrier, is allowed to roam free and enjoys visiting caravans, if given the chance, and we did experience some unfriendly encounters with the Warden’s dog, but after making a complaint it was kept on a long lead.
