A note from the site themselves...

The site is situated within an old brickyard on the Holkham Estate. The last brick was made here in 1951, and since then the land was largely forgotten until the current tenants moved in and decided to clear the wilderness and create a little tucked-away haven.

Norfolk Brickyard is ideal for...

Couples
Duke of Edinburgh Award
