Best walk from Sheringham

Sheringham Station to Cromer Station

Fantastic, far reaching views of the sea. A fairly easy coastal walk along clifftop paths, both paved and unsurfaced, with far-reaching sea views and becoming an urban trail in parts. Beeston Bump (Beeston Hill) has steep steps on either side; sections of roadside pavement are narrow. Follows much of the Norfolk Coast Path and is for foot only, as cyclists cannot use the footpath. West Runton, midway, has public toilets, a cafe and a small shop; several bus stops along the roadside sections.

Tough: steep ascents. 7km.

The clifftops can be unstable, so keep to the marked paths. A stretch of the A149 through East Runton has a very narrow pavement, forcing single file and occasional steps onto the busy road. Steep steps on Beeston Bump create access issues.

Lunch: A cafe, shop and toilets at West Runton midway, plus refreshments at both Cromer and Sheringham.
