The Avenue at Holkham Park leads to The Obelisk, which was completed in 1732 as a statement of intent to build a grand hall. The Obelisk rises 25m high at the end of the South Avenue approach and signals the point where visitors would catch their first glimpse of the mansion.

The Park is open between 9 am and 5pm.

The main gate is often shut, but there is a pedestrian gate to side which you can pass through on bike.

A 2km arrow-straight driveway across the Holkham Park estate, overlooked by the impressive obelisk. Largely traffic free apart from a few vehicles accessing the estate.
