Helmingham Hall is a wonderful example of a Tudor hall surrounded by an amazingly wide moat. Today the ancient house is the home of the Tollemache family and in following with a long tradition, a drawbridge is still pulled up at night as it has been for the last four hundred years. The gardens are set in four hundred acres of Deer Park that are home to free roaming herds of red and fallow deer. The varied gardens are said to be "the finest in England".
