About

This is the perfect place for a breezy walk along, or up and down, the hills of north Norfolk. Enjoy the sun on the heaths or shelter from the wind in the woods. In a stroll of a couple of miles you can see eight species of trees and depending on the season, a variety of flowers, birds, bees and butterflies.

Look for the signs of a Napoleonic signal station, near to the car park and enjoy the views over the coastal villages and Sheringham; they are different every day.  

Dogs must remain under close control at all times and on a lead between 1 March to 31 July. This helps to prevent disturbance to the many ground-nesting birds.

Highlights:

Cromer Ridge: A large east-west glacial feature, that dominates the topography of North Norfolk, providing outstanding views of the North Sea. If you stand near the old signal station (adjacent to the main car park), you are approximately 100 metres above sea level, at one of the highest points of the Cromer Ridge. This is a massive glacial feature that dominates the topography of North Norfolk.

Beacon Hill: One of the highest points in Norfolk, located at around 100m (330 ft) above sea level and the site of an old signal beacon.

Stone Hill: Views over Sheringham and out to sea. The cairn was put at the top of Stone Hill by the National Trust in 1971.

Incleborough Hill: Panoramic views and one of the few places gorse dodder still flourishes.

Woodland: Beech, oak, hazel and birch trees provide habitats for a range of wildlife.

Heathland: Heathland with heather and gorse where adders, common lizards and slow-worms can be found.
