Peace and tranquility and variety of birds went to seal colony in the early morning fog. Absolutely amazing. Staff and volunteers we're extremely helpful and friendly. Parking facility was good and small centre interesting.

Spent a gorgeous afternoon at Holkham, enjoying the breathtaking beach and neighbouring nature reserve. The weather was very kind to us and it was so splendid to be able to savour this beautiful place en famille with like-minded dog walkers and equestrian enthusiasts. A must for all.

If you have to pay to park, keep you ticket until you eat at the restaurant, when it will be refunded. We have only had snacks, but very tasty. Good value. Walk around the lakes if you have eaten too Much!!!

We went to Holkham Gap looking for specific birds. We found them so straight away this was a success. The beach is a huge expanse, lots of people using it for various recreations. The beach next to the sea is wonderful and provides a great walk around to Wells. Car parking is good, there is a charge, so be aware... More
