Holkham and the National Trust's Oxburgh estates are shut, after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for wind, with gusts expected to reach up to 65mph between 10am and 6pm.

Holkham announced yesterday that it would be shutting Holkham Park, the Courtyard Cafe and Gift Shop, Lady Anne's Drive car park and The Lookout today due to the forecast.

It said, in a post on Facebook: "We hope to reopen as usual on Tuesday. In the meantime, keep cosy everyone!"

Meanwhile, Oxburgh Estate said in a post on its Facebook page: "Due to high winds Oxburgh Estate is closed today.

"We hope to be back open tomorrow, but please check our website for confirmation before travelling.

"Stay safe out there!"

However, the Royal Sandringham estate remains open, but visitors are advised to keep to main footpaths in and around the royal parkland, and avoid heavily wooded areas.

The children's play area has been closed as a precaution.

"Please be careful for falling branches and debris," a statement on its Twitter page added.
