Holkham Park

Highlight • Lake

The parklands surrounding Halkham Hall extend for over 3000 acres. Originally designed by William Kent, the parklands have evolved over the centuries. You can explore the walled kitchen gardens, walk to the obelisk, visit the vinery, marvel at plants in the greenhouses and walk around the glistening lake.

There's a 10-mile (16 km) circular route through the park for cyclists. Expect to see lots of wildlife, especially deers.

The park is open from 9am to 4pm during winter and until 5pm in summer. Most of the park is free to visit. If you would like to see the hall and walled gardens, tickets cost £14.40 per adult.
