Norfolk’s Regal Elegance & Grandeur
For a few months of the year, the English Royal country retreat of Sandringham House is open to the public. Calling it a ‘House’ does feel to be a bit of an understatement as this magnificent family home has been used by four generations of British Monarchs since 1862.
Sandringham Estate is located deep in the Norfolk countryside and in total covers 8,000 hectares, but just the house itself is set within 24 hectares of beautifully kept gardens.
