Discover The White Horse: Pinewoods' New Family Escape at Holme-next-the-Sea
There's a new spot on the map for families who love the North Norfolk coast. The White Horse, our sister park at Holme-next-the-Sea, has just opened its gates - and this August it's shaping up to be one of the best-value, most authentically Norfolk family holidays around. If Wells-next-the-Sea is the Pinewoods you know and love, think of Holme as its quieter, wilder cousin: wide open beaches, rolling dunes, and a slower pace of life that's perfect for families who want their summer holiday to actually feel like a break.

What's new at Holme-next-the-Sea?
The White Horse is a small, newly renovated holiday park with just nine exclusive caravan holiday homes - so it never feels crowded. Families can choose between our Sea Lavender holiday homes, our most spacious and luxurious option, or Samphire, a smaller but wonderfully modern and comfortable choice for a couple or young family.
It's a genuinely new addition to our collection, built around the same philosophy as our original Wells park: no noisy clubhouse, no piped-in entertainment, just the beach, the sky, and each other.
Just footsteps away is the newly refurbished, award-winning White Horse pub, complete with its own artisan bakery and café - handy for a delicious treat before a beach walk, or a tasty meal at the end of one.
Why families love Holme-next-the-Sea?
Holme-next-the-Sea is a pretty, low-key village on Norfolk's north-west coast, and it's this quietness that makes it such a good match for family holidays. The beach is wide, sandy and safe for paddling and sandcastle-building, backed by dunes that kids can happily disappear into for hours. There are no amusement arcades here - just space to run, fly a kite, and watch the sun go down over The Wash.
For families with older children, the Norfolk Coast Path runs right along the site, making it easy to set off on a walk straight from your caravan door, with Thornham, Titchwell and Hunstanton all within reach for a change of scenery.
Wild adventures next door: Holme Dunes Nature Reserve
Right on the park's doorstep is Norfolk Wildlife Trust's Holme Dunes Nature Reserve, and it's a brilliant, low-cost day out for families. Children can borrow a free Wildlife Detective bumbag from the visitor centre and go looking for whatever the reserve has to offer that day, from butterflies in the dunes to birds on the grazing marsh. There are three birdwatching hides to explore (the first has disabled access), plus the visitor centre café serving homemade cakes, soups and cream teas made with local ingredients.
Ask the kids if they've heard of Seahenge - a 4,000-year-old Bronze Age timber circle uncovered on Holme beach in 1988. It's a genuinely great story to tell around the campfire, and the original timbers can now be seen at King's Lynn Museum, making for an easy add-on day trip.
Beyond the park: more family days out nearby
Holme sits within easy reach of some of North Norfolk's best family attractions. Hunstanton, with its famous striped cliffs, sandy beach and traditional seafront fun (think funfair rides, a tractor train along the prom, and the Sea Life Sanctuary with its touch pool and underwater tunnel), is a short drive away.
Titchwell Marsh RSPB reserve, all reedbeds, lagoons and birdlife, is close by too, and the village of Thornham has three excellent pubs and a deli for when you fancy someone else doing the cooking.
