Norfolk Offers & Links

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.

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.
