With three cafes on-site and a pub, there’s plenty of choice as to where to eat. Whether you’re a book worm, plant lover or stamp collector, don’t miss the Blickling shops and gallery selling a variety of local art and crafts. Dogs are welcome in the parkland, however we ask that in areas where there are livestock grazing, and around the lake walk, that all dogs are kept on a lead. Dogs are not able to come in to the house and gardens (with the exception of guide dogs), however, they are welcome in Muddy Boots cafe by the car park, and in the farmyard, by the bookshop, stamp shop, farmyard cafe and plant centre.
