Houghton Hall

Magnificently furnished state rooms, deer park, contemporary sculptures, walled garden, 20,000 model soldier collection, restaurant, gift shop.

Built in the 18th century by Sir Robert Walpole, Britain's First Prime Minister, is one of the grandest surviving Palladian houses in England. The work of architects James Gibbs and Colen Campbell was complimented by the superb interiors of William Kent and opulently furnished to reflect Walpole's status. The 7th Marquess Cholmondeley has restored Houghton Hall to its former grandeur retaining many of its original furnishings.

Houghton Hall's park and gardens are set in 350 acres of fine parkland, home to a herd of white fallow deer. The original walled garden has been recreated to feature a formal rose garden with over 150 varieties, herbaceous borders, fruit and vegetables.

The Model Soldier Museum is a unique collection of over 20,000 model soldiers. Spectacular battle scenes are depicted from the Battle of Waterloo to the Second World War.

The Old Stables provide an excellent venue for the tea room and shop. Houghton Hall is situated just off the A148 King's Lynn to Cromer Road, about 10 miles east from King's Lynn.
