Gunthorpe Hall is surrounded by twenty three beautiful acres including flower, fruit and vegetable gardens, parkland, paddocks and a lake.  The gardens have been restored after years of neglect and saved from a return to wilderness.  Great efforts continue to be made in their maintainacne and further improvements and organically home-grown fruit and vegetables are available in season.  Guests are welcome to use the Hall's grounds with the exception of the vegetable and private gardens.  Facilities such as bicycles, fishing, croquet and badminton are available.

The village of Gunthorpe is located in a lovely part of Norfolk mid-way between Fakenham and Holt.  The unspoiled and beautiful beaches of Blakeney and Holkham are nearby.  The countryside offers a paradise for bird watching, walking and cycling, and the scenery is a paradise for the painter and photographer.  There are many fine buildings within easy reach including Holkham Hall, Sandringham and Blickling Hall, the latter being one of the first and finest National Trust houses.  The attractive local towns have many interesting antique shops and markets.
