How to spend a weekend in Holkham, North Norfolk — the Princess of Wales's favourite stretch of coast

Golden, sea-washed sand stretching out endlessly, wild dunes and pine forest hiding any form of civilisation and the wind whipping clouds briskly across the ever-changing sky: at low tide, Holkham Beach in North Norfolk feels otherworldly. It can be unsettling in its emptiness. But it is also utterly beautiful, and a brisk stomp along the sand here will do more to clear your mind than an hour of meditation.

It’s easy to see why the Prince and Princess of Wales love this stretch of coast — a short drive from their home, Anmer Hall, it’s believed to be where they shot the video marking the end of Kate’s cancer treatment.
