Three North Norfolk parks to fly green flags this year

Date published: 15th July 2025

North Norfolk District Council is proud to have received the Green Flag Award for Holt Country Park, Pretty Corner Woods and Sadler’s Wood for 2025. 

2025 marks the 21st consecutive year that Holt Country Park has received the prestigious Green Flag Award. 

The Countryside team continues to work hard every year to ensure that the woodlands are well-maintained and exceptional natural outdoor spaces for everyone to enjoy. 

The Green Flag Award scheme is managed by the environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy.  

Each year, they set requirements that parks and green spaces have to meet and continue improving. These requirements include: 

• Excellent park management 

• Meeting accessibility requirements 

• Must be easily navigable with directional signage and information boards 

• Must be a clean space for residents and visitors 

• Good litter and waste management 

• Providing a healthy, safe and secure environment 

• Environmental management 

• Community involvement 

• Conservation of biodiversity, landscape and heritage 

The Council’s green spaces regularly hold community engagement events, where visitors can engage in activities such as tree planting or giveaways, volunteer conservation days and family events. 

Throughout the summer holidays, Pretty Corner Woods and Holt Country Park host many events catering to adults, children, and families. These include orienteering, self-led trails, activity days, and creative events such as rock painting and woodcraft animals.
