Hobart's offers a variety of delicious food. We use local, seasonal produce wherever possible, some of which comes from tenants farming on the Blickling estate. Call in for a coffee, sandwich, lunch, or afternoon tea.

You'll find all sorts of treasures on the shelves in our second-hand bookshop.

It's run by volunteers who're always willing to help and advise, and the money we raise goes to fund vital conservation projects.

We have bikes to hire to suit everyone - men, women, children, and baby carriages.

Pick up a bicycle and head off into Blickling Park, through the woods, out onto the local country roads - enjoy and get fit.

Bike hire opens again at Easter.
