Holt is the most handsome market town in North Norfolk, UK — Georgian flint buildings, independent galleries, a renowned deli and one of the most popular heritage steam railways in England. What surrounds it is equally good: seal colonies at Blakeney, world-class birdwatching at Cley, Holkham Beach, the Pigs spa pub at Edgefield.
