Sandringham House

Highlight • Historical Site

Sandringham is the much-loved country retreat of Her Majesty The Queen and has been the private home of four generations of British monarchs since 1862. The house, set in 24 hectares of stunning gardens, is perhaps the most famous stately home in Norfolk and is at the heart of the 8,000-hectare Sandringham Estate, 240 hectares of which make up the woodland and heath of the Country Park, open to the public free of charge every day of the year.

Tickets to see the house, museum and garden cost £17.50 per adult and £8.50 per child. For museum and gardens only, it costs £11.50 and £10, respectively. For opening times and more information, visit: sandringhamestate.co.uk

Bronze Age Barrows on Harpley Common

Highlight • Historical Site

A cluster of Bronze age burial mounds / barrows on Harpley Common. Some are around 3m high. Pottery, bone and charcoal fragments were discovered when Bell Barrow was excavated.

Local tradition has it that treasure is buried here and it is said that rabbits will not burrow in it, or if they do they soon come out! Strangely enough there are very few rabbit burrows. Please don't dig for treasure here, as it's protected as a national monument.

Bircham Stores Cafe

Highlight • Cafe

With racks for cycles and a welcoming attitude for those of us who 'clack' when we walk, the Bircham Country Store is worth a visit. Great coffee and a selection of cakes and savoury treats to keep even the hungriest riders going.

Bircham Windmill

Highlight • Historical Site

Bircham Windmill is a spectacularly well-preserved working windmill that gives a real insight into how the mills would have looked 100 years ago. While this landscape would have housed hundreds of windmills very few are left today. Bircham is considered one of the best still remaining and is the only windmill in working order in this area that is still open to the public.
