Holt
A lovely Georgian town which is famous for Byfords, Holt has a selection of small boutiques and homeware shops along with a great toyshop above Starlings. As Holt does get very busy the parking can sometimes be a challenge, so if you’re able to visit during the week that might make things a bit easier.

Norwich
Last but not least is Norwich, the capital of the City of Norfolk which is 40 miles south (about 1 hour by car) with all its attractions, shops, museums, Castle and Cathedral. It also boasts a wonderful market which is the largest outdoor market in Europe and is a fabulous sight with all the brightly coloured awnings.
