A lively North Norfolk town where clifftop walking, National Trust parkland, and long-distance coastal routes combine to create a varied walking base.
Sheringham is a strong base for walking holidays on the Norfolk Coast Path, offering an appealing mix of coastal scenery and inland green space. From the town seafront, the path climbs east over Beeston Bump toward Cromer, or heads west past Beeston Regis Priory and on to Weybourne. Sandy and shingle beaches, clifftop paths, and open headlands give walking here a classic North Norfolk feel, balanced by the town’s cafés, shops, and seaside character.
Beyond the immediate coastline, Sheringham also supports wider outdoor adventures inland. Sheringham Park, managed by the National Trust, offers wooded parkland walks with elevated viewpoints and seasonal colour, while nearby Pretty Corner Woods provides quieter, shaded woodland loops. Together, these routes allow walkers to combine coastal miles with calmer inland exploration during a single stay.
With a wide range of places to stay, including hotels, guesthouses, and coastal accommodation within the town and nearby villages, Sheringham works well for short breaks or longer self-guided trips. The mix of coastal paths, inland woods, and quiet linking routes also makes it suitable for relaxed cycling holidays, particularly when connecting Sheringham with Cromer, Weybourne, and the wider North Norfolk coast.
