This is great but the bus links to Dereham isn’t great. Getting there wouldn’t be a problem but there are no busses back to Dereham. Maybe konectbus could look at improving the the link between Dereham and Fakenham esp during the summer months
Which bus goes from Norwich please??? And does it stop outside of pensthorpe and pick up outside???? Just wondering if its a safe stop to stand with children. X
Hope there’s a cycle route that takes you off the main road
Stage coach no longer run to Norwich it is First bus X29 l use it to go to Pensthorpe
How about electric cars? Any plans to install chargers?

I used to come when I could use clubcard vouchers. But now it's £50+ for a day out for our family of 4.... Sorry this is too expensive. Charge less - more people could afford to come.

#birdingRead all about our unlucky-in-love Eurasian crane, Hattie, who has a new shot at romance with the arrival of Insh - a young crane who has come all the way from Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland. It's early days yet but we're keeping our fingers crossed that the future is a happy one for the pair.

#naturereservesuk We're delighted to be included in Visit North Norfolk's roundup of "The best places to see snowdrops in North Norfolk". Our snowdrops are still shooting up and creating a blanket of white through the shade and woodland landscape of our Wave & Wave Line Garden. Mixed in with the snowdrops is an array of hellebore species, and not forgetting our beautiful sculptures which you can stumble across throughout the garden, on our secret sculpture trail. Follow the link in our Bio. (Photography by Annie Kerridge).

#visitnorthnorfolkToday is World Wetlands Day and to highlight the global significance of this habitat, our conservation experts here at Pensthorpe have written a blog to explain the challenges wetland habitats face; the part that our team plays in conserving wetlands here in north Norfolk and; educating our visitors about the species that rely so heavily on them to prosper. Here at Pensthorpe you can see species such as the Common Crane (also known as the Eurasian Crane), who are threatened wetland species. Pensthorpe Conservation Trust are part of the Great Crane Project which was set up in June 2006 with project partners RSPB and Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, initially to undertake feasibility studies on possible release sites and their long-term requirements. The Project aimed to re-establish this iconic wetland species to the UK and succeeded in releasing 93 Eurasian cranes on the Somerset Levels & Moors. The current phase is monitoring the numerous breeding attempts and successful rearing and fledgling of chicks since 2015. A link to our blog is included in our Bio.

#pensthorpeWinter pricing has now come to an end however there’s still some savings to be had on your visit to Pensthorpe, throughout the year. The secret to saving money on admission is planning ahead! Receive £1 off per person when you book online, at least one day in advance. Beat those winter blues and get your woolly hats, scarves and gloves on and take a stroll through our nature reserve. Now is a great time to visit with blankets of snowdrops and hellebore appearing in our shady Wave & Wave Line Garden. There’s also been some changes to our reserve over winter with new bridges, new garden landscaping, scrub clearance and crane enclosure makeovers – so if you haven’t been to see us recently, take a walk with us this weekend.

#outdoorsandhappyFor those who enjoy snowdrop walks in these cold and crisp winter months, our Wave & Wave Line Garden is now blanketed with these dainty flowers that are one of the first species to emerge in the new year. The scientific name for snowdrops (Galanthus) means milk flower and when it is warm they release their scent. Now is an ideal time to take a leisurely stroll through our shady garden, designed by six time Chelsea Flower Show gold medallist, Julie Toll. The low light of the winter sun and the blossoming hellebore, dotted in between the snowdrops, creates the perfect landscape for a tranquil afternoon walk before the sun sets.
