Holkham Hall

Impressive 18th century stately home & gardens

Holkham Hall

An eighteenth century historic house, Holkham Hall is set in acres of beautiful countryside and unspoilt coastline. Explore the State Rooms complete with collections of tapestries, original furniture and paintings by Rubens, Van Dyck, Claude and Poussin. Worth considering a Christmas visit as the house is beautifully decorated for the festive season using different themes each year.

A great walking area and you can even find out about its agricultural history which led to a massive transformation in agriculture nationwide.

The entire estate is now run using totally sustainable, environmentally friendly methods. An adjacent nature reserve bordering the beach is thronged with wildlife, and the beach itself a sandy delight.

Rooms

The Marble Hall is spectacular possessing a 50 ft pressed plaster dome ceiling and walls of English alabaster.

The Old Kitchen was used until WW2 to prepare meals for the household and offers a glimpse into life below stairs.
