Hello, I'm Theodore, Theo to my friends, and I volunteered to research the entry for Holkham Hall and beach for the Bears Unlimited "Friendly Planet Guide", introduced a few days ago. Holkham is my favourite place in North Norfolk and I am very lucky to live just a short distance away.
Yesterday afternoon was lovely and sunny so perfect for a trip Holkham. Being a thrifty bear and thinking of Bears Unlimited's profits, I shared a lift over with my minders and parked in the free village car park just outside the gates to Holkham Hall and Estate. If you park nearer the beach you have to pay and miss out on a nice walk and the delights of the Victoria pub. I thought I should save my energy for a swim and a stroll along the lovely sandy beach, so when we set out from the car I hitched a lift on the outside of a rucksack. Its much better for getting fresh air and views than travelling inside.
Here you see me checking out the sign outside the estate grounds that lets you know that the Hall has been in the hands of the Earls of Leicester (the Coke family) for a very long time. I’ll let you know about my time on the beach tomorrow.
Love from Theo xxx
