Sheringham, Norfolk

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Sheringham is a popular market town on the North Norfolk Coast, just to the east of Cromer. The town is blessed with a long, sandy beach and traditional resort facilities, making it a popular destination for seaside holidays. Sheringham Museum on Station Street is located in a set of old fisherman's cottages, and has displays covering the history of Sheringham and area. Included is the story of Sheringham's experience of WWI, when the town was the first place in Britain to be hit by bombs.

The North Norfolk Railway runs regular steam train journeys between Sheringham and Holt. The parish church of All Saints has a curious medieval carving of a mermaid on the arm rest of a pew. This relates to an old legend that tells how a mermaid was so anxious to visit the church that she snuck past the beadle to hear a service. Three miles away is the stately home of Felbrigg Hall, a 17th century mansion set in superb gardens.
