Get your garden looking gorgeous
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.
We are a place of people – from farmers to historians, gardeners to housekeepers, conservationists to the friendly faces that greet you throughout your stay. And Holkham is a place with a rich history and an iconic stately home, yet a place with a pioneering heart and progressive vision.
We’re a popular choice for locals and visitors alike, anyone looking for wonderful days out in North Norfolk. Whether you’d enjoy taking crisp walks in the parkland, filling your calendar with our exciting events line-up, exploring the beautiful rooms of our stately home, or getting sandy feet on one of the Norfolk coast’s very best beaches, there is so much to choose from when planning your day out with us.
We hope you decide to visit Holkham and become part of our story.
