The Poppy Line, five and a quarter miles of steam railway from Sheringham through Weybourne to Holt, running along the cliff top and over the heath. Dogs travel on daily services for a small fee and are genuinely welcome, provided they are on a short lead at stations and stay off the seats and tables. A ride out and a walk back along the coast path is the classic way to use it.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.

Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
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.
A shingle-and-sand beach with concrete groynes below the town promenade, good rock pools at low water and the lifeboat station at the west end. The central beach in front of the prom is closed to dogs in summer, but the stretches beyond the signed zone stay open, so walking east or west solves it. From October to April the whole beach is dogs' own.
Four and a half miles and around two and a quarter hours through Repton's parkland and the rhododendron woods, up the iron gazebo tower for the best view in Norfolk and out to the clifftop above Weybourne before looping back. It starts at the National Trust visitor centre car park off the A148, pay and display at £6.50 for non-members and free to members, with around 200 spaces that fill on rhododendron weekends in late May. Dogs must be on a lead throughout the park between 1 March and 31 July; outside those months they may run off lead under close control in the areas marked on the visitor centre map, and the clifftop edge here is unfenced and crumbling.
Nobody has written one for North Norfolk Railway. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
