A visit has two parts, and the calendar is the catch. The House and Gardens open only for a season that runs from spring into early October, and entry to the House is by time slot. The Royal Parkland around them, with the Courtyard, way-marked trails and woodland play area, is open all year and free to enter, though parking is charged. Photography is encouraged in the Gardens and Parkland but not allowed inside the House, and that includes phones. A free shuttle buggy runs between the Gardens entrance and the House at set times of day. You can add a multimedia guide to any House ticket for an extra charge. Some surfaces get slippery when wet, so the estate suggests sturdy shoes or wellington boots in rain. Picnics are welcome in the Royal Parkland, but barbecues are not allowed anywhere on the estate. The cafés and restaurant range from quick takeaways to longer lunches and afternoon teas. Without a car, bus 35 between King’s Lynn bus station and Hunstanton stops in the Royal Park. The nearest railway station is King’s Lynn.
