Unlike many other centuries-old Norfolk towns, Holt features mostly Georgian buildings rather than medieval constructions due to a devastating fire in the town in 1708. At just over 10 miles from the county seat Norwich and less than 10 miles from the coast, the market town is easily reached and has a population of around 3,500.
