Introduction

The sweeping Park that surrounds the Hall is home to a herd of about 800 fallow deer and a small herd of Red Deer. The evergreen oaks (Quercus ilex) that are such a feature of the Park, are Mediterranean in origin and were brought to Holkham from Italy.

Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times, to avoid disturbing vulnerable wildlife. Designated walks allow visitors to explore the 3,000-acres grounds and take a closer look at prominent landmarks, such as the monument to Coke of Norfolk and the Obelisk.The National Cycle Network route 1 - Wells and Holkham circuit - passes through the park from  the north to south gates. This ride is a 10 mile circular route for cyclists and walkers. To download a map of the circuit click here.

There are no public rights of way in the park and it may be necessary on occasion for estate management reasons to temporarily close routes at short notice. Organised events are not permitted without the prior agreement of estate management, please contact us for further information.

Pedestrian access is available via the pedestrian gate at each main entrance.

N.B The pedestrian gate at the south entrance is closed until further notice, pending masonry work.
