August 20, 2008 · Print This Article

Located in the town of Fritton, Norfolk, England, the Fritton Lake Countryworld is a beautiful natural complex of woodland and Victorian gardens.  The lake extends over two and a quarter miles and covers 150 acres of ground.  There is a nine hole par three golf course with an eighteen hole putting green located there, as well as a miniature railway that runs along the lakeside.  A farm with animals that the children can get close to and a heavy horse centre, that includes Suffolk Punches and Shire horses, are also located at the Fritton Lake Countryworld.
Fishing, rowing boats, and paddle boats are allowed on the lake and disabled visitors can take a specially built boat as well.  Visitors can enjoy a twenty to twenty-five minute tour of the lake in an electric powered launch that will also take them to the Bittern where they can learn about the history of the lake and the wildlife that inhabit it.  Falconry lessons are available and children can have fun in the adventure playground with its aerial slides and assault course.
Hikers here will enjoy the marked trails around the lake with its woodland and wild flowers which include bluebells and Rhododendrons.  There is a café/restaurant on site for visitor’s convenience, picnic areas, and areas for birthday parties.  The park is open from March 18 through October 31 from 10:00am to 5:30pm daily.  Admission is £6.50 for adults, £5.50 for seniors, and £4.50 for children.  Disabled facilities are available and the park is also wheelchair accessible.  The Fritton Lake Countryworld is part of the Somerleyton Hall and Gardens just under five miles away.
