Kelling Heath Holiday Park
Kelling Heath Holiday Park is a holiday park in Norfolk, England. It is owned by Blue Sky Leisure and sits on the North Norfolk coast between Sheringham and Holt. The park gets its name from Kelling Heath, a nearby natural area known as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The Timewell family bought the site after long negotiations. The park opened on 6 April 1984 to take advantage of the Easter holidays. In the following years, the park improved facilities, including the electrical system and the shower, toilet and laundry blocks. After the 1991 May Day weekend, two drums of toxic chemicals washed up on Weybourne beach, and the whole park had to be evacuated.
In 1999 Kelling Heath began a red squirrel breeding programme to help reintroduce red squirrels to Britain. The programme has been successful, and red squirrels now live in the park. In 2013 the park had two breeding pairs and two baby red squirrels named Sunny and Summer.
There are different places to stay, from camping pitches to luxury holiday homes. Onsite facilities include restaurants, bike hire, a swimming pool and shower/WC blocks.
The park is known for its environmental efforts. It invested £180,000 in solar energy and sits in a Site of Special Scientific Interest, working to protect its rare habitat. Many buildings are designed to fit into the woodland setting.
In 2014 the park was the location of BBC2’s Stargazing Live, highlighting its dark skies for astronomy.
Kelling Heath has its own train station, Kelling Heath Halt, on the North Norfolk Railway. The line runs from Sheringham to Holt, about 10.5 miles.
The park won the 2013 Caravan Holiday Park/Holiday Village of the Year at the Visit England Awards. It has been featured in The Daily Telegraph and The Daily Mirror.
