Sheringham

Sheringham is a seaside resort in North Norfolk, situated to the west of Cromer. There are technically two Sheringhams, one is Lower Sheringham, which is the best known, and the other is Upper Sheringham, which is where the town developed from. Sheringham is well served by road and rail. If you are visiting by train, the town is at the end of the Bittern Line, which goes from Norwich through Wroxham, North Walsham, Cromer, West Runton and then into Sheringham. Sheringham is now the end of the railway line, although there is a steam railway which uses to the old track bed taking passengers to Weybourne and Holt. For those visiting the area by bus, ...  Read the complete review

Sheringham is a small seaside town (I'm reticent about using the word "resort"... it isn't big enough) on the north Norfolk coast. Like everywhere else in North Norfolk, it's nice in the summer (occasional stiff breeze notwithstanding) but probably incredible depressing during the autumn and winter. Sheringham is a little different in character to Cromer (the town just to the south-east of it). It has a more open, windswept feel to it somehow, with streets that feel wider, a more traditional layout (as opposed to curiously winding roads that go nowhere in particular), lots of bucket-and-spade shops, vast armies of pensioners trundling along at a ...  Read the complete review

As you will have gathered if you have read my review on the North Norfolk Steam Railway, Sheringham is one of my favourite seaside resorts. It's a relatively small resort on the North Norfolk coast, which I think does a good job of providing a little something for everyone who visits, rather than being brashly modern and aimed at the younger visitor in the way I always feel that some other resorts such as Great Yarmouth are. So here is my little guide to a smashing family day out by the seaside.. So, first of all, you need to arrive my train, one way or the other. My preference, of course, would be the preserved steam line which runs from Holt via Weybourne ...  Read the complete review

Sheringham There are two Sheringhams an Upper Sheringham about 2 miles inland and Lowe Sheringham on the sea. A childs holiday place. Yes I used to go on holiday in Sheringham on the east coast when I was little 40 + years ago. It has changed a little since then more houses, different shops but the general feel of the town is the same. It is a fishing village although with the declining fish stocks there is not as much fishing industry but still you get fish for sale from the fishing boats on the quayside. You could always take your line and hook and hope to catch a fish or a crab yourself Let me start at the beach a shingle ...  Read the complete review

Sheringham is a Norfolk fishing village (come tourist centre) situated on the East Coast near Cromer and not a million miles away from Kings Lynn. In it’s role as a tourist resort it has utterly re-invented itself over the last twenty years to cater for the resurgence in domestic holidays. When I first visited in the 70’s there were few caravan sites and even fewer hotels. The village amounted to a relatively small number of houses, three pubs, an amusement arcade, the Working Mens Club and an occasional market. The development and extension of a number of nearby camping sites has provoked a favourable change in the area. Although not strictly in ...  Read the complete review
