Holkham Hall is one of Britain’s most majestic stately homes. Situated on the beautiful north Norfolk coast, this classic 18th century Palladian style mansion is a living treasure house of artistic and architectural history. Home to seven generations of the Earls of Leicester, Holkham Hall has something for every one. See the stunning grandeur of the Marble Hall, the magnificence of the State Rooms and the sheer size of the Old Kitchen, complete with its original pots and pans.
