Holt's fine 18th century Georgian buildings make the town one of the most attractive in north Norfolk. The town is home to many independent shops, art galleries, antique, book shops and wonderful places to eat and drink located along the high street and tucked away in hidden, charming courtyards and alleyways.

The market place in the middle of the town has a cross memorialising the soldiers who lost their lives in the war. Off the market place, a tree lined avenue leads to the 13th century church of St. Andrew. To make sure you see all the key landmarks in the town, take the Holt Owl Trail, by following the owl pavement plaques.

A short walk away is Holt Country Park, a 100 acre woodland with oak, pine and silver birch trees, picnic areas, nature trails and a playground.

Just outside the centre of Holt is the North Norfolk Railway station where you can catch the Poppy Line steam and diesel train services to Weybourne and Sheringham. A bus runs from the station to Holt market place.

A short distance from Holt are the ruins of Baconsthorpe Castle, a moated and fortified 15th-century manor house, that was owned by the Heydon Norfolk family. Also worth a visit is Letheringsett Watermill, Norfolk's only working watermill, producing flour from locally grown wheat. Each summer, Holt hosts its famous festival where it becomes home to street performers, musicians, poets, actors, dancers, artists and comedians.

Holt’s rural coastal location, with its unique town, makes it the ideal place to stay in all seasons.
