  • Dog-friendly site in the grounds of the Holkham Hall estate
  • Within walking distance of Holkham beach and coastal walks and cycles
  • Discount for the hall, walled garden and Holkham Stories Experience
Who’s to refuse a stay with festival vibes in the grounds of the grand Holkham Hall estate, which was built by an 18th-century earl? Holkham Hall is a pop-up site in north Norfolk that has very much a unique setting, surrounded by 25,000 acres of sloping parkland, an 18th-century Palladian-style house and walled garden. Sure, the main attraction might be easy access and discounted entry to the hall, walled garden and Holkham Stories Experience (which gives a run-down on the full history of the estate). However, the dog-friendly site is also in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and just two miles from the Norfolk coastline, where there are some ridiculously scenic coastal walking and cycling routes. Take the half an hour’s walk to Holkham beach and explore the soft sand, dunes and lagoon. Enroute is the Holkham National Nature Reserve (20 minutes’ walk), where there is plenty of wildlife hiding out in the pines, creeks and saltmarsh. Back at base – if the gorgeous estate can be called that – there’s a family-friendly festival atmosphere (a beach break with bunting, yes please). On the estate, guests can make use of the woodland adventure play area, ropes course, cycle and boat hire, gift shop and café, as well as a bunch of events geared towards families. There are plenty of pubs with beer gardens, shops and other places to eat in and around Wells-next-the-Sea too, which is 40 minutes’ walk from Holkham Hall.

What customers say

Visitors praise the stunning Holkham Hall estate location, with its beautiful grounds, wildlife, and proximity to the coast. Friendly, helpful staff and clean facilities, including hot showers, are frequently mentioned. The pop-up bar and food vans are popular bonuses. Some noted limited washing-up facilities and occasional issues with shower temperature or drainage. While generally peaceful, occasional noise from other campers and the 10 pm gate curfew were mentioned. Many plan to return.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Fantastic location and scenery. The on-site staff were very friendly, helped us find the perfect pitch location.
The on-site showers and toilets were quite good, shame there was no wash basin to brush teeth and have a shave.
The pop-up pub and food van was quite nice.
Short walk through the grounds to Wells-next-the-sea, lovely little village with lots of shops, pubs & restaurants.
The food and drink event in the walled garden was a nice surprise.

Disliked The only dislike is no wash basin to brush teeth and have a shave.

Local attractions

Oh, to be on a steam train huffing and puffing past the coast, a hillfort and a disused railway platform… the Wells & Walsingham Light Railway (10 minutes’ drive) runs between Wells-next-the-Sea and Walsingham and takes in all of the above sights. You might be lucky enough to spot some seals along your coastal walks, but if you want to dedicate a trip exactly to that, check out the Beans Seal Trips (25 minutes). The Burnham Overy Footpath - Norfolk Coastal Path (10 minutes) is one of the aforementioned splendid coastal walks in the area and snakes through salt marshes and sand dunes. With the likes of crabbing and fishing trips in Cromer (50 minutes), fields of lavender to see at Norfolk Lavender (half an hour) and abbey ruins for hide and seek games at Creake Abbey (15 minutes), to occupy you it’s likely you’ll have a splendid itinerary sorted out before you even depart.
