Norfolk - Sandringham Estate Country Park
Spot a Royal on a cycle ride at Sandringham
Sandringham is the much-loved country retreat of the British Royal Family, and has been the private home to generations of British Monarchs since 1862.
In 1968, 142 hectares of the then Queen's private estate at Sandringham was designated as a country park for the public to use for cycling, hiking and dog walking.
Sandringham Royal Park now spans nearly 243 hectares (600 acres) for visitors to enjoy. Planted with a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees, mainly Corsican and Scots Pine mixed with Oak, Sweet Chestnut and Birch, and supports a huge variety of animals, birds and plants.
The Royal Park is open daily throughout the year to walk or cycle and is dog friendly. There are two waymarked Nature Trails, one a leisurely 1½ miles long and the other 2½ miles long with many additional woodland paths to explore for a casual stroll or a longer hike.
