Holt Country Park

Holt Country Park is only a short walk from the historic market town of Holt on the edge of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It has had a chequered history, from 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. Its rich ground flora supports an abundant display of wildlife including Goldcrests, Greater Spotted Woodpeckers, Emperor Dragonflies and Deer.

The Park contains a Visitor Centre with shop, toilets, and waymarked walks which include an Easy Access Trail and for the more adventurous countryside walks from 1-18miles. When exploring the park you may stumble upon a viewing tower, pond, sculptures, totem pole and play area or why not pick up an activity to keep you occupied from the visitors centre. Activities can be organised for groups and are very popular with schools, or families can join in environmental and arts events throughout the year.
