I often go (used to go) go fora walk in the Blickling Estate past the The Tower. The Dule of Buckingham liked racing so naturally he built himself his own racecourse with an adjacent viewing tower. He had previously had a large lake created to improve the view from the upper floor of his house. It is difficult to conceive how much money and power these people had. Still I guess they did create something for later generations to enjoy.
