Parking Permit for Holt Country Park

Visiting Holt Country Park is so much easier with an annual parking permit. At just £20, it is available from the Visitor Centre or Council Offices.

Holt country park

Holt Country Park is only a short walk from the historic market town of Holt on the edge of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The park has had a chequered history, including a horseracing course, heath, farmland, forestry, and woodland garden. It has now been developed into a tranquil woodland dominated with Scots Pine and native broadleaves. Its rich ground flora supports an abundant display of wildlife including Goldcrests, Greater Spotted Woodpeckers, Emperor Dragonflies and Deer.

The park has been awarded a Green Flag Award every year since 2005. The park is very popular with schools and families where they can join in with environmental and arts events throughout the year.
