Map of the UK

Holt is a compact market town on the edge of North Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. Sitting amid open farmland and heathland and within easy reach of the North Norfolk coast and resorts such as Sheringham and Cromer, it has a handsome Georgian high street and a backdrop of woods and commons that make it a popular base for walkers and visitors to the area.

Historically connected to the textile and local agricultural economy, Holt now thrives on a mix of tourism, independent shops, galleries and antiques dealers, alongside schools such as Gresham's School. The town retains a strong sense of community around its parish church, St Andrew's Church, local events and an arts scene, and is served by the preserved North Norfolk Railway, which adds a charming heritage link to the nearby coast.
