The National Trust heathland and woodland around West Runton provides good views along the coast and out to sea. The summit of Incleborough Hill is ½ mile from the station. The earthworks at Roman Camp (1 mile) were once a naval look-out. Exploring the many footpaths in the area may be combined with walking to Felbrigg Hall (see below). The beach is ¾ mile from the station.
Rescued animals including heavy horses. Blacksmith and shire horse demonstrations.
Farming Bygones Museum with carts, wagons, caravans and farm machinery.
Children's activity areas. Café.

Part of the walk from West Runton station is along a narrow road with no path for much of the way,
take care because this road is busy at times.
I recommend walking 2¾ miles from Cromer station because that route is easy to follow along good paths.
