The Holt is a mainly residential neighbourhood on the edge of the market town of Wokingham in Berkshire, England. It consists largely of post‑war and later housing with convenient access to local parks and the town centre, and is popular with families and commuters because Wokingham has good rail links towards Reading and London.
While Wokingham itself has medieval market‑town roots, The Holt has a suburban, community‑focused character with local schools, shops and pubs and easy access to surrounding countryside. Economically it sits within the wider Thames Valley commuter belt and benefits from nearby employment centres such as Reading and Bracknell, yet retains a quieter, village‑like social feel.
