The Town Of Holt Norfolk

Holt is a market town in the county of Norfolk, England.  The town is listed in the Doomsday Book of 1086 and there is proof that it pre-dates the Norman invasion.  It is surrounded by delightful countryside and seaside towns and is filled with antique, gift shops and art galleries. Built in the beautiful Georgian style of architecture, the streets of the town are still laid out in the medieval twisting and turning paths of the time.

The High Street, which is the home to high quality stores and eateries, is connected to the many alleyways with more shops that are hidden gems people love to find.  For those who are feeling the bite of hunger there are tea shops and coffee houses that offer a wide range of fare, from traditional British dishes to ethnic delicacies.
Those who are visiting Holt for the very first time will be greeted with a variety of colours and building styles that are reminiscent of the Georgian era.  Many of the buildings in the town have been labelled as being architecturally important.  One of the reasons the town has such an eclectic mixture of architecture is due to a fire that rampaged through it in 1708, destroying the enter village in less than three hours.
Visitors can ride the steam railway to Sheringham, a coastal resort town, and enjoy the scenery of the coast.  Holt also offers a beautiful wooded park and heath that spans one hundred acres with walking paths rambling throughout.  The last working watermill in the county can be found in Holt along the Glaven River.  Tours of the mill explaining how grains are ground into flour are held on a daily basis for tourists. Those who are interested in bringing home a taste of this quaint location can purchase the flour ground in the mill which is also retailed in many shops throughout the county.
