Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate

Norfolk isn’t a county known for its hills, but on this 16-miler with stunning views you’ll tackle a combined 1,140 feet - the size of a small mountain- if you add together all the gradients along the way!

Along this circular walking trail you'll pass historic buildings dating back to the 1700s, notable trees, a hidden lake and an imaginatively planted arrangement of beech trees. Easy, 2.5 miles.

For one week only from 17th September a chance to see inside many of our cabinets throughout the house.

Have fun with the family this summer following our Summer trail - a walk of about 2.4Km on all weather paths with lots to do along the way.

Some of the Ancient panels of stained glass were removed from the windows in the Great Hall at Felbrigg, after essential conservation work was needed to ensure their survival. They're now back and sparkling once more.

The library at Felbrigg Hall has been restored to its former glory with a new carpet made possible by the revival of historic weaving looms.
