    Just Love visiting this delightful location. We are NT members but this venue is wonderful and cafeteria is far better than NT.

    I was really excited to read another review about having “posh” afternoon tea in Holkham! Now that would be really special. Just imagine not having to travel to London for such a treat, especially in such regal surroundings.
    Please proceed with this great idea. We attended Wedding at Holkham some years ago and it was amazing.

    We parked up on a car park in town and walked along the estuary to the beach. The walk was pleasant and enjoyable. The beach however was excellent. I loved all the multi coloured beach huts. Worth the effort to get there!

    Lovely and quaint Norfolk seaside small town.
    Great for dog walking and walking in general, especially to the sandy well kept beach with lovely beach huts.
    We were lucky enough to see a Seal basking on the beach and another one in the water.
    1 star knocked off due to some dog walkers not clearing up after their pets….

    Great place. Lots of cider - bought a bottle and sat for an hour in the lovely garden. Then bought another. And a present or 2 on leaving. Highly recommended.
    Dog friendly too

    Visited on a dull, windy day but still beautiful views. It would be even better on a sunny day.
    Sat on a bench at view point and took in the vista and the wildlife using our binoculars.

    We visited the museum and then asked for and were given a tour of the working boat yard. Tradional clinker boats being restored and built, and an apprentice learning the trade. What could be better?

    We really enjoyed our return journey from Wells to Walsingham. Wonderful little train! Spotted some wildlife on the way and they created Halloween scenes along the journey to entertain the children. We loved sitting in the open carriages. It was great fun, thank you.

    I’d go as far as to say the best hot chocolate in North Norfolk! Served by some lovely ladies, very accommodating when asked for takeaway cups, clean toilets, nice cafe menu offering, thank you

    First visit and daily stay in a Happy Huts beach hut. A beautiful well maintained hut with everything as described on the website plus extras. No running water or toilets in the hut but water and toilets less than two minutes away. Had a great time in the hut. Excellent communication before and on the day and a hotline if needed while on site. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

    The most wonderful studio gallery of celebrated artist Alfred Cohen. The paintings on show are stunning and the history of his life and work fascinating. A hidden gem in the charming Norfolk village of Wighton.

    ... sadly it's closed down now!
    It was excellent - one of the best attractions I've been to, but sadly the landowners haven't renewed the lease, which is such a shame :(

    The people who ran it had put such a lot of work in, and were so friendly and enthusiastic. The buildings were beautiful inside and out, and the animals were great too, but alas it is no more.
