Healthcare is conveniently available at Kelling Hospital, located within the village, which also houses the Holt Medical Practice, and there is also a dentist practice in the village. Nearby educational facilities include Holt Community Primary School and Sheringham High School, as well as the well-regarded Gresham’s School in Holt for private education.

Public transport links are modest but functional, with regular bus services connecting High Kelling to Holt, Sheringham, Cromer and Norwich. Rail services to Norwich are accessible from Sheringham station.

For recreation, residents enjoy easy access to Holt Country Park, with its extensive woodland trails and wildlife, as well as the celebrated Sheringham Park, a National Trust estate known for its sweeping coastal views, landscaped gardens, and seasonal rhododendron displays.
