Coastal Code

Please follow the Coastal Code whilst you visit Holkham, help us to keep it beautiful and valuable to wildlife for future visitors.  The whole reserve is open to the public on agreed access routes, so please do not walk on the farmland or grazing marshes:

	Look out signs and leaflets showing how to prevent damage to plants and animals	DOG WATCH   Both dog-walkers and dogs are enthusiastic about wildlife along the way, but dogs don't always realise when they're causing trouble.  When they're off the lead they can panic shorebirds into abandoning their nests: seals and other animals are also vulnerable to unintended disturbance.  Please keep dogs under control and away from cordoned areas.
	Keep dogs on a lead or under close control
	Reduce erosion by keeping to paths and established routes
	Avoid disturbing birds and other animals. Birds that live on the beach are particularly at risk
	Leave wild flowers for others to enjoy
	Play and sit on the beach not the dunes
	Reduce the risk of fires by not lighting fire, stoves or barbecues
	Use your bicycle but stick to authorised routes
	Please take your litter home

WARNING

Holkham is open to a wide stretch of sea, so anything can be blown or washed ashore. On occasion live ammunition and unexploded bombs have been found about the reserve.  If you do come across a suspicious item leave it well alone and report your discovery to the coast guard.
