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.
Five miles there and back, two and a half hours, on the Norfolk Coast Path along the highest cliffs in the county, with the North Norfolk Railway puffing along the ridge inland and Weybourne Hope's shingle at the far end. Start from the Station Road pay-and-display car park in the middle of Sheringham, two minutes from the seafront and the steam railway; the heritage line will bring you back from Weybourne station in season, which turns it into a linear walk. The clifftop path is unfenced with sheer drops in places and there is no way down for most of the route, so a lead is sensible the whole way, and the council bans dogs from the main Sheringham beach and requires leads on the promenade from 1 May to 30 September.
Augusta is a place to stay on Augusta Street, Sheringham. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
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.
Bennett is a place to stay on Augusta Street, Sheringham. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
