Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Starts at
Cromer Road car park, Sheringham, a short walk from the east end of the promenade
Parking
Pay and display at the Cromer Road and Station Road car parks; the seafront spaces are metered and fill first. Free parking on Beeston Regis lanes is very limited
Directions to the start →

Three miles, an hour and a half, with one genuinely steep pull up Beeston Bump, the glacial hill that rises straight out of the promenade at the east end of town and gives a two-county view from the top. It starts at the Cromer Road car park in Sheringham and follows the promenade east before climbing the Bump and returning through Beeston Regis on the field path behind the caravan site. Dogs are fine off lead on the grassy summit but the seaward face is an unfenced sixty-metre drop, cattle sometimes graze the Beeston Regis fields, and the council's no-dog area on the main beach runs from 1 May to 30 September, with leads required on the promenade in the same window.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs are banned from the marked no-dog area of Sheringham beach and must be on a lead on the promenade from 1 May to 30 September under North Norfolk District Council's order; you can be fined if you do not comply. Registered assistance dogs are exempt.
