Oxburgh Hall
Recommended by
Overview
Oxburgh Hall is a glorious place to visit. It’s a remarkably handsome house with a high gatehouse and surrounded by a wide moat. The outstanding feature of this 15th-century building is its 80-foot-high Tudor gatehouse, which has remained unaltered throughout the centuries. You can visit grand rooms, including the King’s Room where Henry VII is said to have stayed in 1487, before climbing to the top for panoramic views. You can even crawl inside a genuine 16th-century priests’ hole. On display are many priceless treasures; in particular, rare needlework by Mary Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick. Outside, a parterre garden of French design complements the wide moat. Built by Sir Edmund Bedingfeld, a baron of Norfolk, in 1482 as a family home, Oxburgh Hall is now managed by the National Trust. Members of the family still live here today.

About the area
The North Norfolk Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and probably the finest of its kind in Europe. Here you’ll find a string of quaint villages and small towns – Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea and Cley next the Sea are 21st-century favourites, while Sheringham and Cromer are classic examples of a good old-fashioned seaside resort where grand Victorian hotels look out to sea.
