Sheringham Park, Norfolk – Woodland and Coastal Views on the Norfolk Coast Path
Rolling parkland, woodland, and elevated viewpoints overlooking the North Norfolk coast
Sheringham Park lies just inland from the Norfolk Coast Path within the Norfolk Coast National Landscape near Sheringham, where self-guided travel, walking routes, wooded landscapes, coastal views, and open places rise above the shoreline.
Unlike the flat coastal terrain found further west, this section introduces gentle elevation. Rolling hills, woodland, and landscaped parkland create a more enclosed and varied environment, with paths winding through trees before opening onto viewpoints across the sea.
Designed in the 19th century, the park reflects a carefully shaped landscape where natural features and planned vistas work together. From higher ground, the coastline becomes visible as a continuous line, offering a different perspective on the route below.
Managed by the National Trust, Sheringham Park is maintained as both a historic landscape and a public space, with access to walking routes and viewpoints across the area.
For walkers, the park provides contrast — a shift from open shoreline to wooded terrain and elevation, before the route returns again to the coast.
