Blickling Estate

About

The Blickling Estate, a National Trust property in Norfolk, is a quintessential English country living experience. The Jacobean mansion, Blickling Hall, has long been associated with the Crown, serving as the home of Anne Boleyn and a repository of historic manuscripts. The estate’s 55‑acres formal garden extends a green continuum from the Hall’s long gallery to a splendid walled kitchen garden and a wide, milky lake. Outside the Hall lies a 4,600‑acre expanse of woodland, parkland and farmland, inviting guests to walk or cycle along the estate’s multi‑use trail and discover a variety of historic buildings, including the RAF Oulton Museum and a picturesque 17th‑century coaching inn. Beyond its heritage, Blickling offers a welcoming atmosphere for families and friends, with cafés, a bookshop, and pet‑friendly parkland. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a garden lover, or simply in search of tranquil walks, the estate’s layered heritage, Shropshire‑style parkland, and seasonal events make it a memorable destination for any visitor.
