Holkham Hall
An 18th-century Palladian mansion of the Earls of Leicester, with a grand marble hall and a park with lawns and deer.
Holkham Hall was built between 1734 and 1764 and is a leading example of British Palladian architecture. It remains the home of the Earls of Leicester. Open to visitors are the Marble Hall, the Statue Gallery, and state rooms displaying paintings by Rubens and Van Dyck. The estate also includes a walled garden, lakes, and extensive parkland where fallow deer roam. Entry to the house costs about £20. Walking the grounds is free, but parking is charged.
