Things to do
Activities
Strap in, step up, hop on, climb aboardand have a blast.
Whether you choose to cycle, row, walk or even swing from the trees, you’re guaranteed a great day out at Holkham.
Within Holkham Park you’ll discover our Cycle Hire hut, located close to the car park, which is open everyday during the warmer months. It’s hard to miss our Ropes Course, popping up above the trees – strap on and you’re guaranteed a great view! During the summer you can hop on a boat and take to the water like one of our resident geese – remember to bring your book of poetry to read aloud. If that all sounds too much, why not head out for a stroll around Holkham Park before settling down for lunch in the Courtyard Café.
