About

Happisburgh ward encompasses a stretch of the North Norfolk coastline, characterised by its low-lying, eroding cliffs and expansive agricultural land. The settlement of Happisburgh itself is a coastal village, with a historic lighthouse and church standing as prominent landmarks. The area's economy is closely tied to farming and tourism, with a number of caravan parks and holiday lets. The landscape is largely open and rural, defined by fields and the constant presence of the sea.

The village is notable for its independently operated lighthouse, painted in distinctive red and white bands. Coastal management is a constant and visible concern here, with concrete sea defences and signs marking the cliff edge. The beach below is known for its preserved Pleistocene footprints, evidence of early human activity. Life in the ward is significantly shaped by the ongoing natural processes of coastal change.
