Discover North Norfolk

A Room in the Park is blessed to be located on the glorious Norfolk Coast and are spoiled for choice when it comes to things to do and see, whatever your interests.

Sandy beaches, unique salt marshes and rolling countryside with panoramic skies give North Norfolk its distinctive flavour, a spectacular coastline, most of which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

There is something wonderfully special about the region of North Norfolk and its unique coastline and countryside that makes for a fabulous British holiday.

Situated on the east coast of England, north Norfolk has 45 miles of stunning coastline, beaches, big skies and breath-taking countryside.

From the unspoilt and empty beaches of Holkham and Brancaster (favoured by everyone from kite-boarders to film makers), to the family friendly sands of Hunstanton, Sheringham and Cromer the North Norfolk Coast offers something for everyone.

History & Heritage

Holkham Hall & Park

A Room In The Park is within the grounds of the Holkham Estate set inside the 4,000 acre deer park. The Hall, (open 1st April to 31st October on Monday, Thursday and Sunday) and Park are well worth exploring, and ideal for cycling and walking along many of its designated nature trails.

Holkham Nature Reserve & Beaches

Holkham is famous for its SSSI nature reserve, the stunning beaches and the abundance of wildlife. Whether you’re talking the dog for a walk through the pines, enjoying a spot of bird watching or having a family day at the beach, you are sure to fall in love with this beautiful landscape.

Sandringham House & Park

Sandringham is the much-loved country retreat of Her Majesty The Queen, and has been the private home of four generations of British monarchs since 1862. The house, set in 24 hectares of stunning gardens, is perhaps the most famous stately home in Norfolk and is at the heart of the 8,000-hectare Sandringham Estate, 240 hectares of which make up the woodland and heath of the Country Park, open to the public free of charge every day of the year.

Norfolk Coastal Path

If you’re a keen walker then you will love the Norfolk Coastal Path. Totalling 150km, the path is made up of a number of shorter walks that you can enjoy if you don’t want to do the full distance. The route of this National Trail lies entirely within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and there is a Coasthopper bus service to get you back where you need to be.

Blickling Hall

The Blickling Estate is one of Norfolk’s top visitor attractions. The estate was once the home of the Boleyn family, and now encompasses nearly 5000 acres, with an impressive Jacobean house, a garden you’ll want to try to recreate at home, and parkland perfect for walking.

Wells & Walsingham Railway

A delightful 10 1/4″ railway, the longest in the world no less! Travel on the unique Garratt locomotives “Norfolk Hero” and “Norfolk Heroine” which were especially built for this line. A fun activity for train enthusiasts and families.
