The Blickling Estate & park, in Norfolk, is managed by the National Trust. It’s a great place to wander aimlessly, enjoying the sights of nature.
Marvel at the stature & structure of the trees. The beauty of the birds. A flashing glimpse of a king fisher. The patience of a hunting heron.
We didn’t get anywhere near seeing it all, some 4600 acres, but that’s a good reason to return. If you want to know more about the place and what’s going on their, click the link.

“The Word Defiant” is an Art installation created by Les Enfants Terribles at Blickling Estate in Norfolk.
The installation reveals stories of books that have been banned, burned, drowned, superseded, redacted, neglected and those that remain defiant.

The installation runs until the end of October. It’s worth a visit. You will react……. but how?
In the boiler-room amongst the coal.
In the library.
There are many installations in rooms…

Approaching the top of Beeston Bump
Beeston Bump is a remnant of the last ice age, around 15,000 years ago. It’s a 63 metre high heap of sand and gravel, with a few big rocks thrown in for good measure.
The material in the bump has been moved over quite a distance by the glaciers. When the ice melted the bump was left behind.
At the time of the ice age the North Sea did not exist. The rivers Thames and Rhine formed a giant estuary. The melting ice flooded the area and eventually formed the North Sea, with erosion breaking through to form the English Channel.
It all makes a mockery of…

Vehicles parking on beach road in the distance.
See the map below for location and directions.
Parking is along the side of the road, there is no official car park. There used to be a car park here but in 2013 storms covered it with six-foot of shingle.
There is a turning point. There are no other facilities there, although whilst we there, a guy turned up with a rather nice looking coffee-making machine in the back of his transit and started selling coffee to anyone interested.
The road was quiet whilst we were there, with just a few people coming and going. The few cars parked there…
