When I was Very Small we used to go on camping holidays near Thetford.

Fantastic campsite. Very rough and ready, no electrics, no toilet or shower block - just facilities for disposing of chemical toilets. One field field full of tents, one track through the woods with pitches along it. Dad would never let us camp in the woods because "we would get s**t dropping on the tent". In hindsight he was completely correct, but it broke a young boy's heart not being able to camp in the woods.

Fishing, exploring, kite flying, Climbing Trees (small ones when Mother was around, big f**koff trees when it was just me and Dad), small games of cricket. Brilliant.

Shadwell, I think it was called. Forestry Commission place. Brilliant.
