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 and every Wednesday we offer all Senior Citizens a 10% discount in our café - please come along and see us soon!
