Holt - Georgian Market Town

Navigating The Route

This is a circular Spy Mission around Holt's Georgian market town, with Agents helping finish Agent Jim Band's work after Dr Dan Gerous has built a machine that will make it rain in Holt forever - sneak around town, crack the code and save the day.

The mission covers approximately 1.5 miles and should take around 1.75 hours to complete. You'll set off from Albert Street pay & display car park, begin under the clock of Bakers and Larners, pass The Kings Head, weave through Holt's town centre and Georgian streets, investigate the churchyard and church area, and head to the War Memorial before finishing back in Holt.

This Trail is not suitable for wheelchairs, but it is pushchair accessible. The ground is good and level underfoot, with narrow roads and footpaths along the way.

Keep to the left-hand side of roads, take care when crossing, watch for enemy vehicles in the car park, and take GREAT CARE crossing the road to reach and return from the War Memorial.

Getting There

By car: Start your operation at Albert Street pay & display car park, Holt (NR25 6HG). Exit the car park on foot and turn left to begin the mission under the clock of Bakers and Larners.

By public transport: Make your way to Albert Street pay & display car park in Holt (NR25 6HG), then turn left on foot to begin under the clock of Bakers and Larners. The circular route finishes back in Holt.

Need the Loo?

Public toilets are available in Albert Street car park at the start point and just after Clue 18, and there are also public toilets on Church Street as you continue past the churchyard.

Bring Your Furry Sidekicks

Four-legged Agents are welcome on this mission 🐾

The route includes narrow roads, footpaths, a car park and town-centre sections, so keep canine recruits close around traffic, crossings and busier areas - especially near the War Memorial crossing.

Food & Drink Stops

Code-cracking in Holt comes with plenty of chances to refuel. Byfords is passed near the start, the route has great pub stops, and you'll pass The Kings Head as you head off from the start area.

There are also plenty of opportunities to stop for refreshments and stock up supplies throughout the route. If you'd rather bring your own field rations, pack a picnic to enjoy at Clue 08.

Holt Town Centre and Georgian Streets

Holt is described as a beautiful and traditional Norfolk market town, unspoiled by 'High Street' names. The town existed before the Norman Invasion, but much of it was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1708 and then rebuilt in the style of the time - Georgian. Once Dr Dan Gerous has been stopped, slow the pace and enjoy those handsome streets without having to treat every detail as enemy intel.
