Estat de Blickling
A beautiful house and fabulous gardens. National Trust.
This is my favourite garden of all time - lots of 'rooms' over 32 acres, created in the last 30 years. Around 50 minutes drive away, but near the East Norfolk coast, so you could include it in a beach visit. Has a very good cafe.
