Picnic on Holkham beach in Norfolk

Access to Holkham Beach is through Lady Anne's Road, which is located across from the entrances to Holkham Village and The Victoria and right off the major coastal road, A149. Picnic on Holkham beach is one of the best things to do in England.

Nothing compares to the enormous sand dunes of Norfolk's Holkham Beach. As you emerge from the shade of the pine trees and walk out onto the beach during low tide, it seems to go on forever. But, the water is there, lazily crashing beyond the dunes. A pristine stretch of sand, sea, and sky may be found in the spacious, open area. Take a two-mile stroll from Lady Anne's Drive at Holkham Bay to Wells-next-the-Sea, stopping along the way for a lunch under cover and to take in the pastel beach huts. See Cromer's historic charm or travel further down the coast to see the seals at Blakeney Point.

Here is where you may also find the Lookout tourist center. The walkway leads to the beach and continues through the pine forest till it emerges at Holkham Bay. On busier days, an overflow parking lot will be made available, necessitating parking on grass and a longer walk to the beach.
