Autumn Tours of the Private Gardens

Sunday 21st October

Tours at 11am, 1pm and 3pm

Escorted by our Landscape Manager, Tim Marshall, enjoy a wonderful opportunity to view the private gardens surrounding Holkham Hall, which are normally closed to the public. See the spectacular arboretum with its many unusual and rare specimen trees resplendent at this time of year with their foliage in an array of autumnal tones.

Learn about the valuable work of the Gardens Department at Holkham and how they maintain the intricate patterns of the formal parterres on the terraces, designed by leading landscape gardener W.A Nesfield in the 19th century. Take in the idyllic atmosphere of the sunken rose garden and the shell garden with its tree ferns and newly renovated shell house, the internal walls of which are beautifully decorated with an array of different shell patterns.

Booking is essential as these tours are popular. Meet in the courtyard by the ticket office. Each tour will last approximately one hour. Well-behaved dogs on leads are also welcome. We suggest you wear suitable footwear for walking in parkland and come prepared for all weathers.
