Pensthorpe Natural Park

Multiple winner of Norfolk’s Best Large Attraction and once the location of the BBC’s Springwatch programme, Pensthorpe Natural Park offers a mixture of nature, fun and exploration for families of all ages while on holiday in North Norfolk.

Families, bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts alike will enjoy exploring the 700-acres of woodland walks and lakes located in the heart of North Norfolk along the River Wensum.

Pensthorpe is home to grey-crowned cranes, red squirrels and Hootz the owl. Take the children on a bug hunt through the woodlands and along the riverbed and lakes.

A relaxing stroll around the four stunning gardens or climb, swing and jump around WildRootz, Pensthorpe’s huge outdoor adventure playground located right next to Hootz House, an award-winning indoor play area which is great for kids of all ages.

Take a trip on the Pensthorpe Explorer and go behind the scenes to discover the secret side of the Wensum Valley.
