Sightseeing and activities

Another 'must' trip out along the coast to Holkham - a place we enjoy throughout the year, it's a wonderful stately home and estate steeped in history. As their website says : "A visit to Holkham will exceed all expectations. We are a place of rich and diverse landscapes. Think parkland alive with deer and mighty oaks, a walled garden bursting with blooms and heritage, a nature reserve thrumming with wildlife, farmland abundant in wildflowers and hedgerows, and an expansive beach backed by sand dunes and pine forests." Check out the events - exhibitions, festivals, sporting events - it's a busy place. You can hire bikes there and there's a brilliant Woodland Play Area for children

Favourite Walks

A walk on Holkham Beach whatever the season is very special - when the tide is out, the miles of sand and big skies are the perfect therapy to give you the feel good factor! Gwyneth Paltrow was filmed on this beach in a scene of the hit movie 'Shakespeare in Love'.

A fabulous beach for all the family - wonderful sand, huts on stilts and the back drop of pine woods. The beach is bliss whether tide in or out - the channel provides great swimming when tide out meaning you don't have to walk miles! Some part near the car park does not allow dogs April-Oct. There's a great cafe at the end of the car park too.
