Around Sheringham

This bustling old fishing village has slipped easily into its more recent role as a popular holiday resort. Elegant Georgian and Edwardian houses surround the small flint-built fishermen's cottages. Rugged cliffs turn into rolling wooded hills rich in wildlife. Sheringham Park (National Trust) is 770 acres of parkland, some of which was landscaped by Sir Humphry Repton. The town also contains the terminus of the North Norfolk Railway.
Norfolk's reputation for flatness is somewhat exaggerated, much of the county is a gently rolling landscape. A chain of nature reserves stretches along the low-lying North Norfolk coast with its small harbours, salt marshes and mud flats. Further around the coast are sand and shingle beaches and a constant battle against the encroaching sea.

Explore the beautiful countryside of the North Norfolk coastline.

Cycling is particularly well suited to the flatter Broads landscape, and provides a perfect way to explore and enjoy the quiet country lanes. This gives visitors the opportunity to see something of the area beyond the waterways and does not create extra traffic or car parking.
The Norfolk Broads are made up of a multitude of broad, shallow lakes lying along five major rivers. The lakes are the result of peat "harvest" during the Middle Ages. The water level rose, and flooded the peat diggings, creating lakes that are home to many rare plant and animal species, as well as a multitude of birds.
