Blickling Hall, Garden and Park is a must-see when visiting Norfolk. Built in the early 17th century, this magnificent National Trust Jacobean house is famous for its spectacular long gallery, superb plasterwork ceilings and fine collections of furniture, pictures, rare books and tapestries. The grand exterior is richly adorned with domes, towers, chimneys and curved Dutch gables. Once in the possession of the Boleyn family between 1499 and 1505, Blickling Hall is reputedly home to the headless ghost of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second queen, who is said to “walk” the drawing room at night, head in head. According to belief, every year on the 19th May (the anniversary of her death) Anne - dressed all in white and carrying her dripping, severed head - arrives in a coach driven by a headless coachman and four headless horses to roam the halls till daylight.
