Holt · NR25 6SP
Holt Country Park offers mixed woodland birding on the edge of Holt, with Scots pine, native broadleaved trees and a network of waymarked walks. Goldcrests and Great Spotted Woodpeckers are among the birds highlighted by the council; its wildlife inventory also includes Nuthatch and Treecreeper. Choose it for a woodland walk between coastal visits, especially when you want shelter, a shorter circuit or facilities close to the start. An easy-access trail, sensory garden, picnic area and tea room make it practical for a mixed-interest outing.
