Norfolk Days Out

The beach at Holkham on the North Norfolk coast is a truly stunning expanse of sand. It will keep you and the children amused for hours looking for shells or just walking along the water’s edge.

Getting to Holkham Beach is reached by walking about a mile down Lady Anne’s Drive near Holkam Hall and is worth a visit during any weekend break Norfolk.

Holkham Hall is the home of the Coke family and the Earls of Leicester and was built between 1734 and 1764 by Thomas Coke, the first Earl of Leicester. The current Earl of Leicester still resides, with his family, in the Hall which is open from April 1 to October 31 on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays 12 noon to 4pm.

If you are staying in one of the hotels in North Norfolk, the beach is the place to visit with either a bucket and spade or your walking boots. The whole family can enjoy a day out.
