Conservation projects at Blickling Estate



Conservation is an ongoing concern within the house and gardens and out to the parkland and wider estate. With your ongoing support we're able to continue our conservation work because every time you visit, you're helping us to do a little bit more, so thank you.

Wildlife set to benefit from restoration of stream on Blickling Estate
Thanks to support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery, work to restore Silvergate stream on Blickling Estate is now complete, and it’s hoped that by restoring the stream at its source, will bring big benefits for wildlife and the health of the wider river catchment.
Conserving the wider estate
Walled garden conservation
Since 2015 we've been restoring the walled garden as part of a five year project. The transformation within that time has been incredible, so it's worth a visit if you haven't been for some time.
The gardeners are now supplying The Stables cafes with produce to use in our dishes. If you fancy taking some produce to enjoy at home, you'll find our fruit and vegetable stall in the walled garden, so help yourself to produce, for a small donation.

Views from within




We asked the house team for their favourite views...
"I like to pop my head through the hatch on top of the clock tower; it’s the highest place on the Estate and the view over the roof towards the lake is amazing." Kenny
"Looking down the front drive.
I imagine what it would have been like from a Servant's view; taking a peek at the VIP guests arriving in horse and carriages or even aeroplanes." Christina
"The view from my bathroom window.
No matter what the weather, it always grabs my attention. No two days are the same but I gaze to see the birds on the lake or the mist laying over the water." Jan
"The view from the attic overlooking the parterre.
You can really appreciate the design, layout and seasonal colours of the flower borders below. It feels like I am taking a peek into a different world." Amanda
