Holkham Hall
Holkham Hall
A Palladian Palace in the Norfolk countryside
Surrounded by 3,000 acres of rolling parkland, Holkham Hall is one the finest examples of Palladian architecture in England.
See into the world of one of Norfolk’s great families and find out how the 2nd Earl of Leicester, Thomas William Coke, helped shape the future of agriculture. In addition to the house itself, there’s the beautiful 18th century walled gardens which are being sensitively restored to their former glory.
From marbled grand entrances to four-course crop rotation and from massive monuments to Victorian green houses, you’ll find many fascinating things to explore and enjoy.
