Just a short walk east of Cromer, the village of Overstrand offers a quieter slice of the Norfolk coast — ideal for walkers seeking peaceful clifftop paths and a laid-back atmosphere. Set along the Norfolk Coast Path, it’s a great base or stop for those continuing their journey toward Mundesley or looping back west.
The coast here is defined by low cliffs, sandy beaches, and big skies, with a historic feel that lingers in the village lanes. Once known as the “Village of Millionaires” during the Edwardian era, Overstrand still carries a sense of gentle retreat, with coastal cottages, a cliff-top café, and sea views that stretch for miles.
