“Around 60,000 pink-footed geese, 13,000 Eurasian wigeon and 4,000 Brent geese winter at Holkham, making it of international importance for these species,” it explained.
“There are also 46 pairs of rare spoonbills that produced 90 young in 2023.”
The author added: “This spectacular 11-mile stretch of fragile windswept coastline is a maze of creeks and saltings, dunes and sandspits, shady pinewoods, green pastures and marshes.”
It said Holkham can be reached via the Sustrans National Cycle Network, Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail and recommended the car parks at Lady Anne’s Drive and Wells Beach Road.
