South Creake Holidays

The courtroom is unaltered and now forms part of the museum, featuring a display on the area as a place of pilgrimage. There's a good shop and a tourist information centre. Nearby is 18th-century Holkham Hall, a Palladian-style mansion that pays homage to classical art and reflects its original owner's travels through Europe. The house hasn't changed much over the years and it features terraced gardens and beautiful parkland that's worth a stroll.
