About

Priory ward is located in the coastal town of Sheringham on the North Norfolk coast. It is primarily a residential area, characterised by a mix of housing types from Victorian terraces to more modern developments. The ward includes the town's main railway station, providing a direct link to Norwich. Local shopping streets serve the daily needs of residents, with independent businesses found alongside national chains.

The area is defined by its proximity to the North Sea, with the ward's boundary reaching the seafront and the popular Sheringham Park. This large, wooded country park, designed by Humphry Repton, offers extensive walking trails and gardens. The ward also encompasses part of the town's golf course. Life here is closely connected to the coastal environment and the seasonal rhythms of a traditional seaside community.
