Visit Holkham Hall Estate

Holkham Hall itself is the perfect place for a day of exploration. It has a cafe, many gardens including a vineyard and Victorian greenhouses, cycle hire and most importantly, over 2,500 acres of grounds. It is an especially special place for animal lovers with large herds of free-roaming fallow deer and red deer, many diverse bird species, waterfowl and small mammals.

Go nature spotting

Holkham is one of Norfolk’s premier destinations for nature watching, offering a remarkable mix of coastal, wetland and woodland habitats. The Holkham National Nature Reserve is home to an abundance of wildlife throughout the year, making it a favourite spot for birdwatchers, photographers and outdoor enthusiasts. During the summer months, it's possible to get a ferry across to the offshore barrier west of Holkham, Scolt Head Island, for exploration.

Visit the beach

Holkham Beach is regularly ranked amongst the best beaches in the UK, and in our Norfolk Uncovered survey, it was ranked the second favourite beach in all of Norfolk, following closely behind neighbouring Wells-next-the-Sea Beach. It has miles of unspoilt golden sand, is backed by pinewoods and dunes, has many salt marshes and huge open skies.
