HOLT - a Georgian Market Town

 

Famed for its boutiques, antique shops, art galleries and cafe's, Holt is a must stop destination and can be combined with a trip to the coast stopping at Cley and Blakeney. But to be honest you can spend a whole day here exploring (head down the back streets). Top places to shop for produce are North Norfolk Fish Co ,wine at Bakers and Larners and enjoy a coffee at Byfords.

 

If you like Antiques you'll love Holt.

 

Holt Antiques 

 

Shirehall Plain 

 

Bayfield Hall Stables  then a coffee at Art Cafe

Aylsham Market Town

12 miles away is the market town of Aylsham and here you will find the award winning butcher G F White, for local meat and game. Just across the road is the fantastic artisan bakers Bread Source.  Whilst in Aylsham check out the antique shops and then you must visit the stunning Blickling Hall. Enjoy a long walk around the lake before a well earned pint at the Buckinghamshire Arms and then head home to prepare all that lovely food.

Stay Local - Mundesley

The great thing about Mundesley is you can get literally everything you need locally in the vilage centre. Including fresh fruit and veg from Country Pickings, meat from the butcher and fresh fish from the small trailer in the car park.  But there's also a fully stocked Tesco Express yards from the house and the larger Groveland farm shop in Roughton or Waitrose and Sainsbury's just 4 miles away in North Walsham.
