HOLT
Holt thrives on a strong sense of community, supported by proud residents and local businesses. Many champion the ‘Love Holt’ initiative, celebrating the independent shops that bring vibrancy to the Georgian town centre. The town hosts numerous local events throughout the year, including the Holt Festival and the 1940s Weekend, which takes over the town and the heritage ‘Poppy Line’ railway running between Holt and Sheringham.
Holt boasts traditional shops like a butcher, fishmonger, and greengrocer. It even has its own department store and food hall, Bakers and Larners, a local landmark run by the same family since 1770. Chic boutiques and luxe lifestyle stores fill the town and its surrounding yards, offering beautiful items for your home and wardrobe. Norfolk Natural Living, known for locally made fragrances, is a notable stop.
Life in Holt is leisurely, with numerous spots to enjoy a coffee or a meal. Byfords café, believed to be the oldest house in town, is a central landmark and an ideal place to watch the world go by. There’s no rush—relax and savour country life! The town also hosts the historic Gresham’s School.
Holt features an abundance of Georgian properties, especially around the town centre. Further out, you’ll find leafy roads with stylish, detached 1930s family homes and well-designed contemporary houses that blend with the countryside. For those wanting to reconnect with nature, Holt Country Park and Spout Hills offer heathland and green spaces.
