mYminiBreak’s Holt Woodland site is a lakeside glamping site in North Norfolk, 12 miles from the coast — shepherd huts, a yurt, and bell tents set in trees, with The Pigs spa pub 10 minutes away and Byfords deli 12 minutes away.
Most people come to Norfolk for the coast. The big beaches, the seal trips, the saltmarsh pubs. All well and good. But there is another Norfolk — the one a few miles inland — that most visitors drive straight through without stopping. Holt sits at the centre of it.
What to Do Near Holt, Norfolk
Holt is one of North Norfolk’s most handsome market towns — Georgian buildings, independent shops, a proper gallery (Bircham Gallery, serious art since 1986), a bookshop, and Byfords: a deli, café, restaurant and boutique hotel that takes fifteen minutes to decide at. The surrounding countryside is gentle, green, and largely undiscovered. Quiet lanes, good walking, no queues.
Byfords of Holt
Twelve minutes from the site. Deli, café, patisserie, restaurant and boutique hotel all under one roof. Breakfast at Byfords — proper Norfolk breakfast, well-sourced and unhurried — is the correct way to begin a day in North Norfolk. The deli counter: local cheese, charcuterie, bread baked that morning.
