Nobody ever forgets their first sight of Blicking. For four centuries, the 1,902-hectare (4,700-acre) estate has been at the heart of this north Norfolk community, offering a home to many – from the Boleyn family to the RAF.


Come and walk in the footsteps of lords and ladies, cooks, butlers, gardeners and scullery maids – all of whom have left their mark. After exploring the atmospheric Long Gallery, with its nationally important book collection, you can relax in the stunning 22-hectare (55-acre) garden; then ramble or cycle through the parkland to find the hidden pyramid. One day is never enough.
