Sheringham is on the North
Norfolk coast and, up until the late 19th Century, it
was just a small fishing village boasting nearly 150 boats.
The fishermen brought ashore catches such as cod, whiting
and skate, as well as crabs and lobsters, which the town is
renowned for today.
In 1887 the rail link from the Midlands and the linking up with
the Great Eastern line in 1906 meant that the number of visitors
to the town greatly increased.
Sheringham is a busy town with a good variety
of family run shops and a very popular market. It also has
an eighteen-hole golf course and a leisure centre.
The beach is mostly shingle and has been awarded the blue flag
so is a great spot for bathing.
The North
Norfolk Steam Railway runs from the old Sheringham
station, through Weybourne
and on to Holt.
It is an ideal way of seeing the beautiful Norfolk
coastline and surrounding countryside.
Sheringham Park is owned by the National
Trust and has magnificent displays of rhododendrons and azaleas
during May and June when they are in full bloom. There are
several way-marked routes, ranging in distance, with spectacular
views.
