Winterton Dunes National Nature Reserve
Dunes, grassland, and coastal landscapes on the Norfolk coast
Winterton Dunes National Nature Reserve sits on the east Norfolk coast, where sand dunes, grazing grassland, heath, and shoreline habitats create one of the county's most important coastal landscapes. The reserve protects a dynamic environment shaped by wind, tides, wildlife, and natural coastal processes.
Located beside the Norfolk Coast Path near Winterton-on-Sea, the reserve forms part of a wider network of routes, landscapes, and places stretching between the Norfolk Broads and the North Sea. Today, Winterton Dunes remains one of Norfolk's most significant natural areas, linking protected habitats, coastal scenery, and long-distance routes along the county's coastline.
