About Holkham

Holkham is home to the Earls of Leicester, who have owned land and property here for over 400 years. In the 19th Century, Coke of Norfolk was noted as one of the architects of modern agriculture and in the 21st century the estate maintains its long-standing commitment to farming, conservation and the local community. Today, Holkham is recognised as one of the UK’s most diverse rural estates, managing more than 20 different rural businesses and employing over 250 people directly. A similar number of jobs are supported by the estate’s occupiers and business partners. The estate maintains nearly 300 homes for people who live and work locally and almost 4,000 of the estate’s 10,000 hectares are farmed in-hand. Holkham Emerald is one of the largest suppliers of salad potatoes in the UK. Recently the estate has benefited from North Norfolk’s popularity as a tourist destination and the estate’s leisure interests now include several cafes, an hotel, car parks and a 670-pitch holiday park. It is estimated that every year as many as a million people visit Holkham beach and the National Nature Reserve, which is one of only a handful to be managed in-hand by a private landowner.
