We came to Lowestoft for a horse riding holiday and we loved it at Pakefield! The school is situated about a 10 min walk from the main pier and they have around 30 horses/pony’s of all sizes. We chose this riding holiday because of the beaches and it was an amazing experience to canter down a near empty beach on happy forward horses! Lowestoft have a main beach were the pier is located which I would have thought would be very busy a normal summer, but also a beach on the other side of town which was open to animals such as dogs unleashed and horses. One of the days we did a picnic ride to the school’s fields were the horses can graze and run around and John’s sandwiches were legendary! John is the husband of Tess day who opened the school in 1946 and they are both still involved! Tess has developed a disability friendly school which I was so happy to see, everyone should have the opportunity to ride! Thank you to all staff who made this a super fun experience!

Would definitely recommend Africa Alive. The park has a great collection of animals and a clean environment. Highlights included the Amazing African Animal show and the lemur walk through which both enable you to get up close and personal with the animals. I Recommend bringing your own food as there are limited facilities for eating and not a great range of options for gluten free.
