About

The Overstrand, Roughton & Runton area occupies a stretch of North Norfolk's coastal plain and adjacent countryside. Overstrand is a coastal village situated on low cliffs, while the neighbouring Runtons, split into East and West, lie directly on the shoreline with expansive shingle and sand beaches. Inland, the parish of Roughton extends into quiet agricultural land and wooded areas, creating a transition from the sea to the rural hinterland.

The coastline here is characterised by the constantly shifting cliffs and the prominent concrete sea defences at Overstrand, known as the 'Pagoda'. The beaches are a mix of sand, shingle, and rock pools, backed by substantial greensward. The area is traversed by the Paston Way long-distance path and the Norfolk Coast Path, linking the settlements and providing access to the undulating cliff-top walks and Cromer Ridge, an inland area of glacial sand deposits and heathland.
