Close to the coast and with shops and places to stay, Holt is an ideal holiday destination. Holt's fine 18th-century Georgian buildings make the town one of the most attractive in north Norfolk. The town is home to many art galleries, antique and book shops and places to eat located along the high street and tucked away in hidden, charming courtyards and alleyways. Byfords is just a 10-minute drive away from the coast and has a number of beautiful beaches you can choose from nearby such as Salthouse, Kelling, Weybourne, Sheringham and Cromer, or a little further afield is Holkham and Wells-next-the-Sea.
