A couple of weeks back it was my birthday and of
course, that means I got to choose where we were going whilst on holiday in
Norfolk. As soon as I knew where we would be staying I checked out the National
Trust website to see what was close and came across Blickling, a massive estate
nestled in the Norfolk countryside.
I have to laugh as every time I mention visiting
a National Trust site to my three kids (aged 10, 10 and 13) they all groan and
say ‘oh no, not National Trust’ and it's as if it has become a tradition.
No-one will admit they want to go and then they all have a great time.
The Blickling Estate is massive with nearly 950
acres of historic park and woodland, there are many trails that you can take
around the grounds to take in many of the prominent features. The new multi-use
path is suitable for pushchairs, adapted wheelchairs, cycles and of course
walkers too. Dogs are welcome in this part of the grounds, although be aware of
the free grazing livestock.
