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

Overstrand beach car park, foot of Pauls Lane

Parking

Small pay-and-display at the beach, about 50 spaces and full by 10.30am in August; free roadside space on the High Street and Harbord Road is the fallback

Directions to the start →

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.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs are excluded from the marked no-dog area of Overstrand beach and must be on a lead on the promenade from 1 May to 30 September under North Norfolk District Council's order. Registered assistance dogs are exempt.
