Sandringham Estate is a large royal country estate in Norfolk, England, best known as the private residence and countryside retreat of the British royal family since 1862. The estate encompasses tens of thousands of acres of land, including woodlands, farmland, and the Sandringham House itself, with extensive gardens and a dedicated country park that is open to the public at times. The property has a rich history, originating from medieval times and evolving into a sprawling estate under successive monarchs, most notably Edward VII and his successors, who used Sandringham as a country home and a place for royal tradition and public broadcasts. The current public access to certain parts of the land varies by year, with the main house and formal gardens typically not open year-round for visitors, while the broader estate and trails offer ways to explore the grounds and learn about its royal associations.
