Favourite Place: Weybourne
Weybourne village nestles below Kelling Heath and is a stopping point on the the North Norfolk Railway. The ruins of an Augustinian priory stand in the grounds of the 15th century church. The beach here consists of pebbles, deeply shelved, and marks the start of the cliff section of the Norfolk coast .The village itself has many pretty cottages, a shop, pub and hotel. On the way out of the village stands a former windmill, now privately owned, and is a well known landmark.
The walk along the cliff path from Weybourne beach to Sheringham is worth the uphill struggle past the Sheringham Coast Watch tower for the sea views to one aspect and countryside views to the other.
You can catch on e of the steam trains from Weybourne Station, which run along the North Norfolk Railway, to Sheringham and Holt, a 10.5 mile round trip through a delightful area of North Norfolk designated as being of outstanding natural beauty.
Weybourne has a preserved country station and a locomotive and carriage maintenance and restoration centre. Enjoy a cup of tea from the buffet and take advantage of the picnic area to watch the trains come and go. Several walks are available through Weybourne Woods and Sheringham Park, with direct access to the Kelling Nature Trail. Well worth a visit at any time of year.
