East Anglia

Log cabin holidays in East Anglia take you to one of England’s most distinctive and underrated regions. Stretching across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex, East Anglia is a place of enormous skies, flat horizons, medieval wool towns, reed filled marshes and a coastline that has a quiet drama all of its own.

The Norfolk Broads are the obvious draw for many visitors and rightly so. Over 125 miles of navigable rivers and lakes wind through one of the most important wetland landscapes in Europe, rich in wildlife and genuinely beautiful in all seasons. Whether you spend a day on the water, walk the reed fringed banks or simply sit outside your cabin watching marsh harriers drift overhead, the Broads have a calming, unhurried quality that suits a cabin holiday perfectly.

The Suffolk coast is one of the finest stretches of coastline in England. Aldeburgh, Southwold and Dunwich draw visitors who appreciate beautiful small towns, excellent fish and chips and long empty beaches backed by shingle and heath. The RSPB reserve at Minsmere is one of the best birdwatching sites in Britain, and the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that runs along the Suffolk coast protects some genuinely wild and unspoilt scenery.

Inland, the market towns of Bury St Edmunds, Lavenham and Saffron Walden reward a day’s exploration, and the university city of Cambridge is within easy reach of most cabin sites in the region. The flat landscape that some visitors find underwhelming reveals itself on closer inspection as genuinely atmospheric, particularly in winter when the light across the fens and marshes is unlike anything else in England.

Log cabin holidays in East Anglia suit couples, families and birdwatchers in equal measure. The region is well connected from London and the Midlands, quieter than the more popular cabin destinations in the north and west, and consistently good value for money throughout the year.
