A landscape park designed by Humphry Repton, who called it his favourite work, with a huge collection of rhododendrons and azaleas that flower in May and June. Paths lead through woodland to viewing towers with views over the coast.


Walk down to the clifftops and the North Norfolk Railway, a steam line that runs between Sheringham and Holt.
