The Holt Bookshop is an independent outlet situated in the charming Georgian market town of Holt in beautiful North Norfolk.
Situated just off the High Street, the shop has more than 12,000 books in stock and prides itself on its variety of local interest titles including a wide range of natural history books.
The shop was opened by Stephen Fry in 2005 and was quickly recognised as one of the best bookshops in the region.
For the last two years it has been named by The Independent as one of Britain’s best 50 bookshops and it has also been commended in The Guide, The Guardian’s directory of leading independents.
