About

Sheringham is a coastal town with a working fishing fleet, where boats are still winched up the shingle beach. The town's economy has long been centred on the sea, and this maritime character defines its seafront and daily rhythms.

Inland, the town is bordered by the wooded slopes of Pretty Corner and Beeston Regis Heath, part of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The North Norfolk Railway, a heritage steam line, runs from the town centre into the surrounding countryside.
