About us

Landscape management

From water’s edge to treetop,we’re taking care.

Watching over the wonder.

Our vision is to be the UK’s most pioneering and sustainable rural estate, and embodied within this drive is our ambition to be pioneering, sustainable and influential in managing our landscape, farmland, habitats and wildlife. With a landscape interwoven with farmland, woodland, parkland, saltmarsh, coastline and the Holkham National Nature Reserve, Holkham is a place of precious and diverse habitats.

We are fortunate to attract a team of experts in conservation, farming, forestry and gamekeeping – all who work together to ensure we are exemplary in the management of these landscapes- for now and future generations of flora, fauna and humankind.
