Caldecott Visitor Centre, Norfolk
Ponies by the Sea!
Our Caldecott Visitor Centre near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk has over seventy acres of paddocks and is home to some very special rescued horses, ponies, donkeys and mules.
This Quality Assured Visitor Attraction is open during the Summer season from March to October and has many lovely residents to meet, from handsome heavy horse Prince to the notorious Denise, a very naughty donkey!
What to do
There are tractor rides (weather permitting), walking tours, horse care demos and a children’s play area as well as the chance to rub noses with our residents!
The site also has a café, gift shop, information centre, charity shop, tombola and the Horse Wise Education Centre with horsey facts and interactive displays.
The new, improved café menu includes jacket potatoes, paninis and baguettes, afternoon tea, soups and delicious cakes. We are serving Fair Trade teas and coffees too!
What you think
Some feedback from our visitors … “An excellent visit worth the drive”… “what a wonderful tranquil place for these lovely horses. Keep up the good work”… “full marks all round, even my dog was made welcome”… … “can’t wait to come back. Thank you.”
Getting around
The stable yard and first paddocks are fully accessible to wheelchairs. We also have a wheelchair for loan, there is a fully accessible WC and in our picnic area some of the picnic tables are wheelchair friendly.
