CL of the Year Winners 2021 - Best Newcomer Award
Whether it's a Norfolk holiday or simply a few days away, our 5 pitch touring site located on our rural farm in mid Norfolk provides a central location from which to explore all the unspoilt beauty the county has to offer.
Walnut Tree Farm is a small family run site based in a rural location on our small farm on the outskirts of the village of Swanton Morley and town of Dereham. My wife and I (along with our 2 children) manage the site along with our small flock of pedigree Hampshire sheep which graze our fields.
Our site offers a quiet haven from which visitors can explore all that the area has to offer and its unspoilt beauty. The famous Norfolk Broads, miles of golden sand beaches and coastline, historic medieval sites and Thetford forest are just a sample of what a holiday in Norfolk has to offer and can be easily accessed from Walnut Tree Farm.
We offer 5 pitches suitable for both Touring caravans and Motorhomes with views out over the paddocks where our sheep graze. Each pitch is serviced with water, 16amp electricity and free WiFi with access to chemical toilet disposal, general waste and recycling points.
We are open all year round so wheather you are a family looking for seaside attractions during summer, or you are visiting the beautiful coastline for bird watching or seeing the seal pups later in the year then we can provide a well-equipped and quiet base for your stay. With various country pubs and eateries along with an abundance of farm shops close to us you can sample local produce at your convenience.
The Hampshire pitch is a level, hard-standing pitch with an additional grass area for awnings and is positioned with views across our sheep grazing paddocks. The hardstanding area is 9m x 6m to accommodate the largest Tourers/Motorhomes with space enough for car parking on the hardstanding. There is a 9m x 3m grass area within the pitch for awnings and the pitch is separated by a further 3 metres of grass area where service points are located. The Hampshire pitch offers the benefits of 16 amp electric hook up, mains water and grey waste connections at the pitch.
The Texel, Norfolk Horn, Suffolk and Swaledale pitches are on level grass which are positioned with views across our sheep grazing paddocks. The pitch areas are 9m x 9m to accommodate the largest Tourers/Motorhomes with space enough for car parking on the pitch. Each pitch is separated by a 3m grass area where service points are located and the pitch is easily accessed from the hardstanding roadway.
Washing up amenities, mains flushing WC and shower facilities, chemical toilet disposal, general and recycle waste are provided with easy access to the pitches (approx. 20-30 metres) and free WiFi is available at the pitches.
There are fishing lakes within a couple of miles called Swanton Morley Fishing Lakes.
We look forward to welcoming you here at Walnut Tree Farm.

Not to be missed
Walnut Tree FarmWhen we had read the previous reviews we hoped they were true - they were! Prior to arrival we received very comprehensive information via email from John giving all that you would need to know. When we arrived Rachel and John were not available but as we had received detailed arrival info we were able to get ourselves pitched, then spoke to John who was happy for us to continue. Rachel came shortly after to confirm we were all OK.
This is a site not to be missed, showers and toilets are spotlessly clean, the washing up facilities are also clean, there is a small shop selling locally produced goods including their own produced lamb products. The layout of the site is very well done and pitches are named after different breeds of sheep and pitches are of a good size with plenty of room between pitches. It is close to Dereham, not too far to go to the beach and National Trust properties and Norwich is also within reach. We could have stayed longer, but they were fully booked - pity (for us)! It is a site that we would have no hesitation to visit again, thank you again to John and Rachel.
A little bit of CL luxury
Walnut Tree Farm
This is indeed a lovely site and it’s no wonder Walnut Tree Farm won an award - there’s clearly a lot of thought gone into the planning and it shows. We had three nights here in March and the quality hard standing made pitching easy - even if the awning did turn in to a large kite in the wind :) The only reason we didn’t give five stars across the board is due to the location of the road which is closer to the site than I had imagined, so there was noticeable traffic noise. Certainly not a deal breaker and it wouldn’t stop us visiting again… We are lucky to have many lovely CLs to choose from, but Walnut Tree Farm takes some beating.
All CL’s should be this well laid out and run.
Walnut Tree Farm
We stayed at Walnut Tree for a week in December It is very well laid out, a pity other sites can’t do the same. We walked to the excellent butchers, that good went twice! The honesty shop is a brilliant addition, we purchased some of the excellent lamb burgers. The toilets and showers are like being at a hotel. Possible to get a bus to Norwich from the village stop. Plenty of walks in the area. The EHU is metered but an excellent system to monitor and top up. Paid £24 a night which included 10 units of electricity. Altogether a great place to stay.
First Class CL
Walnut Tree Farm
We stayed at Walnut Tree for 5 nights last week and found the site to be very clean, well laid out and exceptionally welcoming.
It has good access to the North Norfolk Coast, as well as lots of local interest.
From the site it’s an easy walk to local pubs and an excellent Butchers.
There are some really good local farm shops, and the site itself has its own “honesty “ shop sells various locally produced food and drink.
The owner John and his family are friendly and welcoming, enhancing our stay.
One I wouldn’t hesitate to recomend.

Superb CL, excellent pitches and facilities.
Walnut Tree Farm
This is a superb CL, one of the best we have stayed at in 15 years of caravanning. Booking availability is live on the CL’s own website. Setting up is so easy as you get your named pitch allocated before arrival. Pitches are a huge size, hard standing, enough for car, caravan and awning and are fully serviced with water, waste and electric ( top up electric payments are easy if required) . There are 2 showers, a washing machine and sink. The superb “honestly shop” is packed with local produce, eggs, milk, lamb burgers, ice cream, amongst other stuff. There is a seamless means of paying for everything by card. We ate at Darbys pub in Swanton Morley and thought the food and service to be excellent. John and his lovely family are welcoming informative and friendly. A superb CL all round and hopefully we will return. Thanks
