A market town on the edge of heath and forest, perfectly placed for inland and coastal walking.
Holt is a handsome Georgian town just a few miles inland from the North Norfolk coast. With its flint-fronted buildings, galleries, and cafés, it makes a great walking base — close enough to reach the saltmarshes and coast, but surrounded by woods, fields, and quiet lanes.
Just outside the town lies Holt Country Park, offering well-marked woodland walks, seasonal wildlife, and gentle terrain perfect for relaxed exploration. Nearby footpaths lead through the Holt Lowes heathland, and connect to longer routes reaching villages like Letheringsett, Weybourne, and even down to the Norfolk Coast Path.
The town itself is walkable and inviting, with shops, pubs, and regular bus connections to coastal points like Sheringham and Cley-next-the-Sea, making it a practical spot for car-free walking holidays.
Characterful inns, self-catering stays, and woodland retreats.
These walks pass through or begin near Holt.
