Holkham
A beautiful 18th century house with deer park created by William Kent.
The Walled Garden is approximately 1/4 mile from the house. Stretching to 6 acres, the garden is divided into 8 compartments known as ‘squares’ or ‘slips’. Currently being restored, there’s an ornamental garden, vegetable garden and vineyard as well as Victorian greenhouses. The lawn at the far end is used for events.
There are wonderful walks around the lake – look out for butterflies, birds, wild flowers and fallow deer.
There are also bookable events around the 25,000 acre estate including a night-time walk around the Nature Reserve, Butterfly and Bat Walks. These are extremely popular so book early – details are on the website.
The Walled Garden is open from April until October but check the website for details – and for the opening times of the Park.
