Sandringham Estate

A Royal Day Out at Sandringham Estate

Tucked into the heart of the Norfolk countryside, Sandringham Estate is more than just a stately home, it's a living piece of royal history and a cherished retreat for the British monarchy since 1862. Still privately owned by the Royal Family, this elegant estate offers visitors a rare glimpse into the personal side of royal life.

Start your exploration in Sandringham House, a royal home steeped in history since the 19th century. Walking through the elegant interiors, you’ll uncover beautifully curated rooms, glittering chandeliers, and intimate family treasures that offer a rare insight into royal life away from the spotlight.

Outside, the Gardens stretch across 60 acres of manicured lawns, shady woodlands, and blooming borders. Whether you’re tracing quiet paths beneath ancient trees or pausing by ornamental lakes, every corner invites you to slow down and reconnect. Perfect for peaceful wanders, spontaneous picnics, or a breath of calm.

But the beauty of Sandringham isn’t just in its heritage. The Royal Parkland, open all year round, is woven with accessible trails and play areas that welcome families, dog walkers, and nature seekers alike. One moment you’re immersed in birdsong under a canopy of chestnuts, the next you're sipping coffee from the Terrace Café, a cosy spot serving hearty dishes and homemade treats using local, seasonal ingredients.

Be sure to visit the historic St Mary Magdalene Church, where generations of the Royal Family have celebrated Christmas. Its architecture and peaceful atmosphere offer the kind of pause that stays with you.
