Great Hulver Hill

The highest point in Norfolk, Great Hulver Hill rises to all of 105 metres above sea level - which tells you everything you need to know about the topography of this corner of England. That said, it's worth the short walk from the village of Holt to bag the summit and enjoy proper views across the Norfolk countryside, rolling farmland stretching toward the coast.

The hill itself isn't dramatic. There's no dramatic scree, no dramatic ridge walk, no scrambling required. What you get instead is a gentle climb through pleasant woodland and across open ground, with the kind of peaceful Norfolk landscape that rewards you simply for being there. On a clear day you can see for miles - nothing alpine about it, but genuinely satisfying if you're used to the flat terrain of the surrounding area.

It's ideal for families with young walkers and anyone staying at the nearby holiday parks wanting a proper outing without needing rock climbing skills. Kelling Heath Holiday Park sits just 3 miles away, making this a natural morning or afternoon activity. The walk won't exhaust anyone, and the summit offers a good reason to stop for a breather and a packed lunch.

Worth doing if you're in Holt for a few days, but don't expect wilderness. This is Norfolk doing its best impression of a mountain, and there's genuine charm in that. Time it for late afternoon when the light softens across the fields, and you'll understand why people actually choose to holiday in this part of the world.
