Explore Holton St Mary, Suffolk with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Holton St Mary map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers OS MAPS — Ordnance Survey Outdoor mapping and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets — plus a labelled National Grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Holton St Mary, Suffolk, England. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

OS MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows OS Outdoor mapping — contours, footpaths, bridleways and access land. Explorer 1:25k shows the OS Explorer sheets themselves: the orange-covered 1:25 000 maps walkers, fell runners and mountain rescue teams use, with field boundaries, rights of way and open access land. The search box finds any British town, village or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Holton St Mary.
Reading the map like a paper Explorer sheet. Click Grid to overlay the OS National Grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference such as NY 266 234 by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an OS National Grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what mountain rescue and the coastguard work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your grid reference stays correct even where the map itself cannot load, which in the Lakes, the Dales and the Highlands is often exactly where you need it.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Holton St Mary emerges from the Suffolk landscape as a collection of quiet lanes and historic timber-framed houses that have weathered centuries of East Anglian wind. It lies 4.1 miles south-south-east of Hadleigh (from Hadleigh: bearing 152°T, OS grid TM 060 367), and is situated south-south-east of Raydon village. The Holton Saint Mary Village Sign greets those passing through, standing as a sentinel of local identity amidst the expansive, open fields that define this part of the Babergh district. To the south-west, the rise of Great Hill breaks the horizon, offering a subtle elevation that contrasts with the low-lying moisture of the nearby Fen River. The light here has a sharp, pale clarity, often catching the flint-work of the parish church and casting long, thin shadows across the dormant winter furrows. Travellers might notice how the air feels thinner and colder as it sweeps across the open plateau, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke. Holton St Mary maintains a modest composure, its character defined by the sturdy endurance of its farmsteads rather than any grand spectacle. This corner of Suffolk remains a place where the sky feels vast and indifferent, pressing down upon the ancient, heavy clay soil that has sustained the local harvests for generations.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any British town, village or landmark by name; offers OS Outdoor and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled OS National Grid so the map can be read like a printed Explorer sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an OS National Grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference remains correct even where the map cannot load.
