Holme Bird Observatory
Hunstanton is a quaint village situated just south of Hunstanton. The Bird Observatory was founded on the banks of the award-winning Holme Dunes Nature Reserve back in 1931 and has established itself as an excellent place to study nature, especially birds, with its wide variety of habitats, which make it special for breeding and wintering birds, along with other wildlife such as dragonflies, damselflies, butterflies and wetland mammals, including water voles.
The Observatory offers walks and talks from autumn to late spring; guided tours during the summer months; opportunities for hiding; and a bird ringing scheme. The winter months offer stunning sunrises over the sand dunes to capture on camera when out with your binoculars or simply taking in some fresh air.
Holme Dunes Nature Reserve is managed by Norfolk Wildlife Trust, which is continuing to work hard to ensure its future is safeguarded for generations to come.
Holkham Hall
This spectacular house and the estate are a must-see. A short drive from Blakeney, you will find this beautiful stately home that has been the seat of the Earls of Leicester for hundreds of years. It was built in the 18th century by Thomas Coke. The magnificent brick facade overlooks a remarkable series of lakes, expanses of pasture and woods dotted with deer and red kites that swoop overhead.
The hall houses an outstanding collection of paintings by some massive names, including Van Dyck and Poussin, whilst inside there is more to explore, including a fascinating museum, gardens, woodlands, and an ice-cream parlour!
Holkham allows visitors to bring their own picnics, so take advantage while making full use of all its facilities.
There are cycles to hire to ride around the many cycle tracks. A small boating lake with boats for children and adults alike. The children's park is great fun with soft sand for children to go wild, and the park now features a High Ropes course for little and big kids!
Wild Ken Hill
The Wild Ken Hill rewilding project is working to restore natural ecosystems on the site. The goal is to show how using land can combat climate change, enhance air and water quality, and provide habitat for important wildlife. In an effort to serve as a model for other initiatives across Europe, the Wild Ken Hill team is dedicated to using the site as a living laboratory.
Wildflower meadows, mixed woodlands, and ponds have been created on the 500-acre site. The restoration project has returned rare wildflowers to the area, like early purple orchids, and created a haven for a variety of wildlife, including red kites and goshawks.
During the winter, the Wild Ken Hill team hosts workshops on birdwatching, guided walks and talks on the property.
The project has been praised by a number of environmental organisations, including the Wildlife Trusts, RSPB, and Butterfly Conservation. In 2019, the project won a prestigious award from the European Union for its work in promoting rewilding.
