Dog-friendly walks in Overstrand

Overstrand, Sidestrand and Northrepps

Five and a quarter miles and about two and a half hours, out along the clifftop past the slumped ground at Sidestrand and back inland through Northrepps on field paths and a sunken lane. Start at the Overstrand beach car park at the bottom of Pauls Lane, pay and display and small at around fifty spaces, so a summer afternoon usually means the free roadside space up on the High Street instead. The cliff edge here is actively slipping and unfenced, the inland return crosses grazed fields with kissing gates, and the council excludes dogs from the marked area of Overstrand beach and requires leads on the promenade from 1 May to 30 September.
