A lively seaside town backed by hills, heath, and the North Sea breeze.
Sheringham is a classic North Norfolk resort that blends coastal energy with easy access to open countryside. Walkers here get the best of both worlds — a lively town centre with cafés, fish and chips, and seaside life, plus trails that head straight into hills, woods, and windswept cliffs.
The Norfolk Coast Path passes through Sheringham along the seafront and cliffs, while inland trails head up to Sheringham Park, Beeston Bump, and the wooded slopes of the Cromer Ridge. It’s one of the few places in Norfolk where you’ll find some real elevation, and the views over the coast are stunning.
The North Norfolk Railway (the “Poppy Line”) also starts here, offering a scenic heritage link to Holt — and a useful way to combine longer walks with a relaxed return journey.
