Holkham

Holkham

Holkham, being home to the Earls of Leicester for over 400 years, has established itself as one of the UK's most diverse rural estates. With over 20 different rural businesses and more than 250 directly employed individuals, the estate also supports a similar number of jobs through its occupiers and business partners. Additionally, it provides housing for locals and operates a 10,000-hectare farm, with Holkham Emerald standing out as a major UK supplier of salad potatoes.

The estate has expanded into leisure and tourism, with multiple cafes, a hotel, car parks, and a 670-pitch holiday park. The scenic Holkham beach and National Nature Reserve, managed in-house, attract nearly a million annual visitors. Holkham's vision of being the UK's most pioneering and sustainable rural estate is reflected in its sustainability and conservation action plan, WONDER. By focusing on natural capital, biodiversity enhancement, and future benefits, Holkham remains committed to its 400-year legacy.
