18th-century Palladian mansion in a large estate which has superb William Kent interiors and magnificent five-acre walled garden . Nearby, Blickling Estate, birthplace of Anne Boleyn

Cycle Hire: lovely, lovely guy running the place. Great facilities and a really nice variety of routes mapped out. Highly recommended.

We love the kids play area , bike riding and dog walking. Great events throughout the year, can't wait for the Halloween one next!!

Warning to families arriving at 10am: staff in the café tend to be in a blind panic at opening times. While the juice and water may be on the shelves, no touching until after 10am.

Closed over winter but with a second visit. Gardens are great

Be sure to go to the new woodland adventure playground with the kids!

Try the sausage baguette .In the tea room .

The chocolate brownies in the café are to die for!
