Holkham Beach

Holkham Beach is three miles long and, at low tide, half a mile deep in fine sand. A beach for simple activities such as sandcastle building or kite flying, there are no lifeguards or modern facilities here but there are sea shells and safe paddling and frankly who needs more?!

If you do though, then it's part of the vast Holkham National Nature Reserve which itself includes a children's play area, boating lake and bygone museum so there are plenty of pleasant little ways to extend your day without even leaving the estate.
