Holt, five minutes from the cottage, is a proper small-town high street of independent shops and galleries, with its own department store and food hall. Along the coast there are potteries and smokehouses, and there’s a good farm shop at Letheringsett for stocking up.
Good to know
- Many small shops keep their own hours, so check before a special trip.
