Family holiday for 5/7 adults & 2 children. Norfolk?

Has anyone any suggestions for a family holiday around Norfolk area at the beginning of July please? Children will be 5 & 3 years. Grandparents and family.

2A & 2 children live abroad and we're all thinking a holiday in UK would be a good idea :-/ ! :)

Many thanks.

    Best Caravan I ever had was at Breydon Water,Great Yarmouth.
    We was in Yare Village.
    There's a fantastic Roman Fort ruins just off the site,with lots of open fields for the children to play and run around.
    This is the Roman Fort

    Many thanks essex boy. We've been looking at Breydon Water and also Kessingland. As a child I had a caravan holiday in Clacton most years, which I hated! We thought the children may possibly enjoy a caravan as something different for them but keeping our options open just in case someone suggests something different! Just got to get my head round it! ;)

    PS Should have said the Roman Fort looks great. Would just need the sun to shine or rain keep away!

    Ive stayed at several in norfolk, but the best ive found is the Wild Duck through Haven Holidays

    Its a small site, so not overly busy or noisy. It has a clubhouse with entertainment, plus a nice indoor swimming pool

    If looking for things to do in area, transport museum is just up road, as are the broads, with boat trips. Bewilderwood, dinosaur land, pettits animal park and Africa Alive are all a short drive away

    Some good ideas, many thanks to you all. Having always go on holiday abroad and family grown up it was difficult. Shall look into those. Also thought of Potters but haven't looked yet to see if that would be suitable. All we could remember was Pontins and Butlins. Not sure if they even exist?!
