HOLT Country Park is about a 10 minute walk from the cottage.
Holt Country Park is situated on the edge of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Holt is an ideal location for Wildlife and Bird Watchers - Blakeney National Nature Reserve - 6 miles. Blakeney Point, within Blakeney National Nature Reserve, is a four-mile-long sand and shingle spit. Sand dunes have formed over hundreds of years on the shingle ridge and form a rare habitat valuable for unusual plants, insects, birds and seals.

NWT Cley Marshes Nature Reserve

The NWT Cley Marshes comprises 400 acres with reclaimed marshes, lagoons, pools, hides, board walks, walks along risen banks and the shingle beach at Cley, and a state of the art visitor centre with spectacular views over the marshes towards the sea.

Arrive at the visitor centre and you'll be greeted by very friendly staff who will answer any questions you may have. If you want to visit the hides, you do need to pay, but if you want to just take a walk along the board walks, or up to the beach, then that's free. Don't forget your binoculars though, as you will definitely need binoculars for bird watching!

It's worth going into the visitor centre just for the view across the marshes. It is stunning coastal landscape that you won't get anywhere else in the UK.

Lovely cottage for two conveniently situated a few hundred yards from Budgeons supermarket. It is on a par with Waitrose with prices but the convenience far outweighs the cost.

Ideal location for visiting Holt. You are right in town with all the shops, pubs and restaurants, bus stops in walking distance. Cute cottage, open plan but definitely big enough for two. Easy check in and out and excellent communication with owner & Vrbo. Parking is round the other side of cottage which is a short walk round with bags. Even though it’s in town very peaceful & relaxing.
