Holt
A Georgian-style market town with independent bookshops, antique shops and delis, and the terminus of the North Norfolk Railway.
Holt was rebuilt in Georgian style after a great fire in 1708. Red-brick and flint houses are arranged along its lanes and courtyards. Independent bookshops, antique shops and galleries stand alongside the long-established department store Bayfields, and the surrounding countryside has plenty of farm-shop grocers and cafés. Holt is the terminus of the North Norfolk Railway, although the station lies about 1.5 km outside town, and trains run from there back to Sheringham. It is ideal for an afternoon of shopping and lunch.
