Holt is a market town, civil parish and electoral ward in the English county of Norfolk. The town is 22.8 miles north of the city of Norwich, 9.5 miles west of Cromer and 35 miles east of King's Lynn. Holt is on the route of the A148 King's Lynn to Cromer road. The nearest railway station is in the town of Sheringham where access to the national rail network can be made via the Bittern Line to Norwich. Holt also has a railway station on the preserved North Norfolk Railway, the 'Poppy Line', of which it is the south-western terminus. The nearest airport is Norwich.
Holt Hall was owned by Henry Burcham-Rogers, who inherited it from his father John Rogers in 1906. Henry Burcham-Rogers kept the hall until his death in 1945. Holt Hall is currently a field studies centre run by Norfolk County Council. Byfords is thought to be the oldest house in Holt (the cellar dates back to the 15th century), a survivor of the great fire of Holt in 1708 and a further fire in the building in 1906.
Blind Sam is the name given locally to the Queen Victoria Jubilee Lantern located in Obelisk Plain. From the year of Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887 until 1921 it stood in the Market Place, where it had two functions, to provide light to the Market Place and to provide drinking water from two fountains at the bottom. The pineapple-topped obelisk at Holt is one of a pair gateposts from Melton Constable Park, the other having been given to the town of Dereham in 1757. Each gatepost had the distances to various places from Holt and Dereham respectively carved into the stone.
Holt Country Park is a short walk from the town. It has had a chequered history, including a horseracing course, heath, farmland, forestry and woodland garden. It has now been developed into a tranquil woodland dominated with Scots pine and native broadleaves. The Lowes is an area of heathland of around 120 acres (0.49 km2) to the south of Holt set aside by the Inclosure Act of 1807.
Holt railway station, opened in 1887, was served by the Midland and Great Northern Railway. Most of this network was closed by British Railways in 1959 but the short section from Melton Constable railway station via Holt to Sheringham (services continuing on to Cromer and Norwich) escaped closure for a few more years – finally succumbing in 1964 when the branch was cut back to Sheringham (now the nearest national rail-head, served by frequent services to Norwich along the 'Bittern Line').

Holt in Norfolk
Holt is a small market town in the central north of the county of Norfolk, and is only 20miles from its capital of Norwich. With Anglo-Saxon origins, (the name Holt is believed to be derived from a Saxon word for woodland), it is even mentioned in the Domesday Book.
Despite being so historical, unfortunately in 1708 the town was destroyed by a devastating fire so most of the buildings date from the Georgian period, although a Norman church does remain. Despite being a market town, the weekly market that dated back to the 11th century ceased in the 1960s. However it is still a bustling place of trade and commerce with many commercial properties.

Clay Beach Holt Norfolk England
This two mile stretch of shingle beach is found about 4 miles north of Holt and 1 mile from Blakeney Point. The beach can be reached by car or via a footpath which passes over the salt marshes.
The beach has exceptional views on either side and is a popular starting point for a walk to Blakeney Point. The walk is best done at low tide. Tidal tables can be purchased cheaply from most of the local shops.
The surrounding land is owned by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, and at busy times there is a charge to park cars. The Cley Marshes Nature Reserve is very popular with birdwatchers, and has a very good visitor centre.
Visitors who are not members of the Norfolk Wildlife Trust can buy tickets to visit the nature reserve from the visitor centre. It’s well worth a trip to the eco-friendly visitor centre, which has a café, gift shop and excellent views over the marshes.
Toilets in the centre, flush using water collected from mosses on the roof and the building generates its own electricity from solar panels as well as a small wind turbine.
Dog walking is not allowed in the reserve, although they are allowed on the shingle beach or on trails to the north of the beach.
Nearby is the beautifully preserved medieval village of Cley-next-to-the-Sea, which –it has to be pointed out- is no longer next to the sea at all. The village has an 18th century windmill, popular with local artists, and one of the loveliest churches in Norfolk - St Margaret’s.
