Clifftop paths, wooded parkland, and a classic seaside town on the Norfolk Coast Path
Sheringham is a fantastic base for walking holidays and outdoor adventures on the Norfolk Coast Path. With clifftop trails over Beeston Bump, woodland circuits in Sheringham Park (National Trust), and easy links along the coast to Weybourne and Cromer, it blends big-sky seafront walking with tranquil hall paths and nature-rich reserves. Expect breezy headlands, sandy and shingle beaches, and colourful town energy — perfect for slow coastal miles and relaxed days by the sea.
Follow the Norfolk Coast Path east over Beeston Bump toward Cromer, or west past Beeston Regis Priory and Weybourne’s shingle. Inland, roam the rhododendron-lined avenues and rolling viewpoints of Sheringham Park, or explore Pretty Corner Woods for peaceful, shaded loops.
