Holkham National Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Norfolk, England
The reserve extends over 4,000 hectares, featuring extensive sand dunes, saltmarsh habitats, pine woodlands, and grazing marshes along the North Norfolk coast.
The pine woodlands, planted during the nineteenth century, established a natural barrier that protects inland areas while providing essential habitats for local wildlife.
The reserve forms part of the Norfolk Coast Path, connecting numerous coastal communities through a network of marked trails and heritage walking routes.
Visitors must keep dogs on leads between April and August in designated areas to protect ground-nesting birds that inhabit the coastal dunes.
The reserve contains one of England's largest natural beaches, where tidal patterns create daily transformations in the landscape between Wells and Holkham Bay.
