Holkham Nudist Beach, North Norfolk
Jump to: Newest in thread
Hello everyone,
I live near Holkham and I visit the nudist beach a handful of times per year (when it’s warm enough).
I thought I’d start a thread for people who have visited, want to visit or who are thinking of visiting or so people can share stories/opinions.

We go quite a bit in the summer |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Me and My Girl have been. We are naturist in normal life so we generally only go to beaches where we can ditch the swimwear. It's a nice beach. It's nice knowing it's officially naturist. Not all beaches we go are (however we've never had a problem anywhere as long as your respectful and sensitive to other potential beach users). However parking can be difficult and your a long walk from facilities (although this is fairly normal). Personally for us theirs other beaches we prefer, hence we've only been the once. Its a great beach but we prefer other and living in the Midlands they're all about as far away as easy other.
My main advise is take a windbreak as the cross wind was strong. Aslo respect the environment and stay out of the dunes. The beach is for everyone and we want it to always be there for naturist users. |

I thought naturism had been banned there. It’s great news it’s official once again, so we’ll definitely be back there in the summer. A great beach! |

It was my understanding that this beach had been closed to naturists. |

"It was my understanding that this beach had been closed to naturists."
It did a few years ago but then the naturist area was reinstated. Having said that it was about 2 years ago last time I went. So I suppose that's a chance it could have been banned yet again I not heard or read anything saying so. So as far as I'm aware (and hope) the closure of naturist area you refer to is no longer in force. |

Holkham is still open to naturists people. There’s no plans afoot to change this either. |

I love swimming nude at the sandy Holkham beach. Nudits should bring a tent or windbreak for shelter against the strong breezes/sun plus fresh water. There is a very good visitor centre but no facilities whatsover on the beach. Also watch out for the broken bits of razor clams on the sand. Dogs and horses are welcome. The nudist beach is about 1.25 miles from a metered carpark through a pine forest. Bear left at the end of avenue road. Enjoy fresh crab after in nearby Wells. |

"I thought naturism had been banned there. It’s great news it’s official once again, so we’ll definitely be back there in the summer. A great beach!"
Oh dear. "Naturism banned", " made official again".
How do these mythical concepts persist.
Naturism is legal pretty much anywhere so long as one is not intending to 'cause alarm or distress': S.66.2003 Sexual Offences Act.
A naturist whose intention is going about their business will not be guilty of (any) offence. So places of 'traditional naturist recreation' like Holkham are legal for public nudity. That applies to to the foreshore but not the land adjoining. I'm this case Lord Lester exercises his right to exclude naturists from his land.
'Official Naturist Beach'?
There are not any. That a local Council chooses to erect a sign either 'allowing' naturism or not has no status in law. The former should be viewed as guidance only the latter a form of discrimination. |

I’m well aware of the law. I was under the impression Holkham had lost its status as a beach where naturists can strip off without fear of being hassled by the police/wardens/landowners. We only bathe nude on beaches which are described as ‘official’ because it’s hard to relax on a non-official beach due to the UK’s legion of ‘professionally offended’ people. Regardless of whether it’s legal or not, we don’t want to spend our day arguing the finer points of law with someone.
As regards the “ban”, it’s precisely the language that both British Naturism and the Holkham Estate which owns the adjoining land were using, regardless of what the law says. It’s also the language that EDP reports the Crown Estate was using. That makes the concept of banning more than a “mythical concept”.
So too the concept of “official” beaches. Regardless of whether it has any basis in law, it’s the language that’s used: the National Trust refers to Studland as such, BN makes the distinction too.

Hi all
Holman was the first place I stripped on public
Holkams good but the walk is a pain and it is a bit exposed. There is an area for nudists but it's important to know the dunes at the back are private property and the estate that owns them has said no nudists and there are patrols.
Corton is better I think as it's only about 100yatfs from the car park and has more cover from the wind |

As I understand Holkham naturist beach was reinstated with help of BN but this implies to the Beach only I think up to the high water mark the Dunes are out of bounds for naturists as these belong to the estate owner including the pine forest behind and is warden patrolled |

Corton is ok, definitely one of the easier beaches to use with easy access and parking.
I would advise moving to where the large landslide comes off the cliff and settle around that. It’s where most couples go I’d say.
If you want that bit of privacy, take a windbreak, save the fishermen getting an eyeful lol.
It’s a nice beach  |

Yes, I've been a few times with friends. A bit of a hike, but a beautiful beach. But 2 points, the dunes are out of bounds, and it can get a bit breezy sometimes. I think parking is around £12 -£14 per day on Queen Ann's Drive. Take everything you need for the day, because there are ZERO facilities. |

Sorry, Spot off.
The beach has been used by naturists for generations and any "status" that it had as naturist location was one of use and practice. This usage was well be known within our naturist community as well as the local population even if the practice of naturism was legally nebulous. The latter was clarified from April 2004 when the 2003 Sexual Offences Act came into force clarifying simple public nudity for the practice of naturis to be lawful. Lawful that is
on the beach up to the high tide mark as elsewhere in England and Wales.
"Reinstatement" therefore was not an issue as usage by naturists was never open to question.
Talk of a 'ban' etc, bandied around, no matter by what organisation or individual is misplaced Aas is the term "reinstatement".

Turn left and walk along a path past a house and a hide. The walk from the car park is about 1.25 miles. N.B zero facilities on the sandy beach and watch out for the broken razor clam shells once you have come out the pine forest and dunes. |

Pretty easy to find, Louisa. Just head left through the pine forest from the end of the car park. Go past a lake, a house and a hide and turn right to the dunes. I'd be happy to be your guide if it's your first time this summer. No facilities e.g toilets, water or shelter from windy but a beautiful sandy beach. Watch out for the sharp razor clam shells. Nearby there is Wells for crab while the parking at Holkham is £10 for the day. There is now a visitor centre there. |

Just to clarify legal and practical side of Holkham.
It is a public space, so as such all normal laws apply and the 2003 Sexual Offences Act clarifies that public nudity for the purpose of practicing naturism should not be deemed unlawful - and I would add if done sensibly .
That applies to Holkham as in theory any other beach.
The term 'Official' is used by many as a practical description and if challenged historical precedent can be quoted.
When negotiating with the Police for my local beach they frequently used the phrase "a place of traditional local recreation" (Get a copy of Phil Vallacks 'Free Sun's, lots of precedent there).
Holkham used to be complicated by Royal visitors to Lord Lester, so a temporary banning order could be made. Anyway lord Lester doesn't like us on his land anyway.
After all that I would say, what a lovely beAch it is. Use it with confidence. |

A small correction if you don't mind. The owner is the Earl of Leicester. |

Been to Holkham beach a few times. On my last visit it was a very hot day 30+. When I arrived there was very little sand as it was high tide. A Few hours later you had a long walk to the water. |

1 mile and a quarter walk through a pine forest heading to the left from the car park. No facilities on the beach but visitor centre including toilets at the car park. Very windy. |

Lovely beach and quite a nice walk to it through the woods but on a windy day it’s like being sand blasted and can be uncomfortable |

On the beach watch out for the very sharp broken razor clam shells; they'll cut bare feet. Ouch! |

It’s a great beach, but I do miss the days from when the dunes were full of fun. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I was there Tuesday. Had a photoshoot with a model in the woods and the dunes but it was very windy and it wouldn’t have been much fun on the nudist beach. We managed to have a great time but will definitely be on the nudist beach next time we shoot. |

Could anyone tell me the best place to park and where about the nudist part is.... |

"Could anyone tell me the best place to park and where about the nudist part is...." i normally park on lady Ann drive car park then take the track on the left ,follow that until you come to the bird watching lookout then take the wooden boardwalk to the beach ,Walk down to the waterline where there will normally be other naturists

£10 to park for the day with a visitor centre including cafe and toilets included. You're not allowed to linger or loiter in the dunes behind the nudist beach. |

"Weather may change but thinking of heading to Holkham end of the week coming up, maybe the Friday and Saturday. Anyone got a halfdecent forecast for then?"
Weather permitting, I'm planning to come to Holkham beach on 28 June but be based on the family/clothed beach as I'll have two family members who would prefer to be on that side. However, with enough notice I'm happy to join the other side especially if a heterosexual couple or even better a single woman wants to play. |

We are thinking of going before the schools break up if we get another spell of good weather. Studland is our absolute favourite and we will be going there too. How do the two compare? Going by the posts on this thread, Holkham seems much quieter - with single guys rather than couples - and much more wind. |

Yes, but the bonus of delicious crab to buy nearby and a posh stately home. I can't comment on Studland as never been. |

Change of plan. Sunday 29th June to be there, or be square. |

It appears that the rope around the dunes between the nudist beach and the woods has gone.
Anyone know the reasoning for this or why it was there in the first place? |

"It appears that the rope around the dunes between the nudist beach and the woods has gone.

Two reasons I guess. I think roped areas were where sea birds were nesting. Secondly, there had been a restriction against nudists cavorting in the dunes among them the bobbing'meerkats'.  |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I’ve been this afternoon, this is the first time in a good few years the ropes have gone hence my query.
Meerkats were about even though no one one the actual beach due to the wind. |

Quick search on internet confirms that roped off areas are for ground nesting birds. To try and encourage people to stay away.
It's still nesting time so there's a chance that they haven't deliberately removed the ropes but have been moved by idiots. |

I doubt it was removed by ‘’idiots’’ as it was quite a vast area, rope and stakes gone. Also, the regular nesting sites are still in situ. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
The rope is in place from 1 April to 31 August but on the shore, with even an electric fence and warning against dogs. I was on the family and nudist beach today and it was a heavenly cool 22/23°C with an offshore breeze. |

"Heading there on Sunday 24th. Looks like a great day."
A few gay 'meerkats' bobbing up and down in the sand dunes in days gone by. Now a few casual encounters in the cold sea? Watch out for the wind and the broken razor clam shells on the shore which can cut your feet. |

We are here today, nothing happens in the dune. No nudits either.
Pretty dead  |

Your right about the razors. Never saw any meerkats just lots of like minded adults sunbathing. |

Thank you. It's always nice to share knowledge such as potential hazards.It's still my go to beach though this year I'll be able to compare it with Studland Bay. |
