Holkham, Norfolk

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A historic village on the north Norfol coast, Holkham is situated beside Holkham National Nature Reserve, the largest reserve in England. The reserve covers an area of sand dunes, salt marshes, and woods, providing habitat for a large variety of birds. Holkham Meals is a long stretch of dunes popular with walkers and families enjoying the seaside. The Meals have been planted with Corsican pines - an odd sight in rural England - to stabilize the coast and prevent erosion. In Holkham is the wonderful 18th century stately home of Holkham Hall, the residence of the Earls of Leicester. The Hall is a magnnificent house set in superb landscape gardens designed by Capability Brown and Humphrey Repton.
