Pitch & Putt

Nine holes of putting green golf just outside Hunstanton - the sort of place families actually enjoy because nobody's taking it seriously. You're not here to shoot under par; you're here because it beats miniature golf and feels more like a proper sport without the expense or the four-hour wait at the driving range.

The course is straightforward enough for kids to manage without getting frustrated, and it moves quickly - you'll be done in under an hour, which is exactly the right amount of time before someone needs a ice cream. Adults often find it surprisingly challenging on the tighter holes, especially if the wind picks up off the coast. It's the kind of activity that slots perfectly into a Norfolk holiday without demanding your whole afternoon.

Hunstanton itself is right there if you need the beach afterwards, and with three solid holiday parks within walking distance - Parkdean Resorts Manor Park is barely a mile away, and Searles Leisure Resort not much further - it works well as a rainy-afternoon escape or a break from the caravan. The glamping crowd at Wild Luxury might enjoy the novelty, though it's probably not worth a special trip from elsewhere. Best on a calm day; windy weather can make the later holes feel a bit unfair. Admission and opening hours aren't clearly advertised online, so ring ahead before you plan around it.
