Mr Walker

Country Living	June 2007
“First timers should look no further than this large site in the grounds of a manor house. Short of camping in your own garden, this is as easy as it gets with a swimming pool, grass tennis courts, and a pub onsite, yet it is all arranged with charm and taste.“

The Guardian	May 2007
“The best thing about this site is the delightful use of ‘greenery’, there’s an abundance of trees, shrubs and well-kept grass here. It’s a complex of campsites all rolled into one, with Beatrix Potter-type names such as ‘The Rabbits Grove’ (you get lots here) and ‘The Dell’. Loads for kids to do, but perhaps not the place for campers seeking splendid isolation. Being based within the broadlands of Norfolk you are well placed to anything and everything ‘boaty’ and you can take seal spotting tours nearby. Clippesby is also part of the Broads Cycle Network and there are route maps for trails from 8km to 24km.“

The Sunday Times	May 2007
“Clippesby Hall is like a self-contained little village. Set in the grounds of a small, odd looking manor house, it has everything a family could possibly want, and more besides. Given that it has 100 pitches (many with electrical hook ups), an outdoor swimming pool, grass tennis courts, mini golf, self-catering cottages, pine lodges and a family pub, you might assume it is as quiet and peaceful as a night on the hard shoulder of the A12. Well you’d be wrong. Somehow, the owner has managed to incorporate all those facilities into the grounds of his family home whilst retaining its unique relaxed character.”

Evening Standard	April 2006
“Camping was once the preserve of boy scouts, hippies and pensioners towing rusty caravans, but now it has been officially declared cool by travel writer Jonathan Knight. Clippesby Hall, Norfolk is set in manicured grounds of a small manor house. Perfect for exploring the Broads National Park.”

Green Tourism

Clippesby Hall is a camping and touring park set in 34 acres of natural park and woodland and located in the Norfolk Broads National Park area. We are the only touring and camping park in Norfolk to be awarded a '5 pennant' rating, and in 2006 won the 'Best Holiday Park' category in the Norfolk Tourism Awards, sponsored by Greene King. We also offer self-catering accommodation ranging from 1 bedroom apartments to 4-star rated Pine Lodges sleeping up to six people.

We are working in conjunction with the Broads Authority as a European Charter Park Partner in connection with the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism, and our activities cover environmental policies within a broader remit of encouraging sustainability in respect of the interaction between tourism visitors, local businesses and the community, as well as the environment.

As part of the Green Tourism Business Scheme we are undertaking the following activities this year:

• minimising light pollution by keeping public lighting around the park to a minimum and by using more efficient, low energy light bulbs
• switching 75% of standard internal light bulbs to more efficient, low energy bulbs, together with consideration of movement sensor activated light bulbs in our shower facilities
• switching our cleaning materials to environmentally friendly supplies
• encouraging visitors to recycle all paper, cardboard, cans, glass and plastics in convenient bins located around the park
• use of local suppliers wherever possible, including meat, vegetables, real ales and ciders
• maintenance of our Gold Award from the David Bellamy conservation scheme, including wildlife diary, use of compost heaps and cultivation of wide range of native flora
• continuing to encourage the use of walking, cycling and local bus and train services by visitors to explore the special qualities of the Broads National Park, leaving their car at the park
• supporting Sustrans and the National Cycle Network, acting as a ranger point for Regional Route 30, which runs from Great Yarmouth along the coast to Cromer
• membership of the Broads Cycle Hire Scheme, offering cycle hire, routes, minor repair service together with guided tours into the Broads National Park area
• membership of the Broads Tourism Forum, encouraging contact, discussion and support among tourism businesses operating in the Broads
• provision of award-winning visitor information services, focussed on helping people explore the special qualities of the Norfolk Broads, offering personalised advice related to visitors' specific requirements including pre-booking of Broads Authority events and boat trips, including the environmentally friendly solar and electrically powered boats
• continuing campaign based around our own unique guide to the area' Discover the Broads', working with local business partners and the Broads Authority to encourage sustainable tourism in conjunction with the preservation of viable local communities
