    The Tower was built in 1773 as a luxurious racecourse stand for the Earl of Buckinghamshire. It was converted into a house in the 19th century and is now let by the National Trust as holiday accommodation on the Blickling Estate.

      This is a nice walk around a NT park, the lake walk is closed along one side (during lockdown) but the pathways are good even in bad weather there are various ways to shorten the walk if you require, a lot of the walk is through woods so you see squirrels every few yards, lots of birds on the lake, today we saw dragon flies and small frogs. It is possible to go off park and walk and extend the walk, maps are available, and toilets on the site. Even in lockdown the adjacent pub has a small in the wall takeaway. its big and open so even if busy you are never crowded. there are plenty of seats around the walk, and there are also plenty of tree trunks to sit on. Its a walk for anytime of the year, although they do close if the the winds become excessive.
