Sheringham Park and beyond

I wanted to avoid doing too many National Trust locations, but the truth is, they have so much to offer alongside charging. Sheringham Park is local to me, and somewhere I visit a couple of times a year at least. (Especially for the rhododendrons!)

⚡ Why it’s great

No matter when you visit, you'll find something to love about Sheringham Park. Whether you like the rolling hills (yes, we have hills in Norfolk), want to find some hidden path, or just want to stop for a coffee, you'll enjoy the park.

The Park

Sheringham Park isn't just another nice green space; it’s arguably the masterpiece of Humphrey Repton, the famous landscape designer. He called it his "favourite work," and it’s easy to see why. Unlike the formal, rigid gardens of earlier eras, Repton designed the park to look entirely natural.

The park is known for its rhododendrons and azaleas (which are amazing in late spring), but even in winter, you'll find a great walk here.

There are four waymarked trails, but the best bang-for-your-buck is probably the Repton’s Walk (about 2 miles). It takes in the Gazebo — which offers a 360-degree view of the North Norfolk coastline — and passes through the best of the parkland.

For a longer wander, you can easily connect to the Norfolk Coast Path from here if you want to leave the car charging and hike down towards the cliffs.

Accessibility: Parts of the park around the visitor centre are hard-surface paths, making them decent for accessibility, though it gets hillier as you venture further in.

Within the park is a National Trust cafe. It's great if you want a small bite to eat and a coffee before continuing on your way. There's covered outdoor seating but (currently) no proper restaurant.

Sheringham

If you want to venture into Sheringham, there's plenty to do and see.

• The North Norfolk Railway: A heritage steam railway that runs from the town centre to Holt.
• Sheringham beach: An award-winning Blue Flag beach (stony at high tide, sandy at low tide).
• Sheringham Museum: Located right on the seafront, this museum houses an incredible collection of historic lifeboats.
• High street shopping: A rare high street that is still dominated by independent shops rather than big chains.
• Coffee and places to eat: You have so many options in the town centre. Why not treat yourself to dessert from the crumble crib or grab a drink at Grey Seal Coffee?
