A 10.5-mile trip through beautiful parts of the region, hauled by a steam engine or heritage diesel locomotive. Steam trains run daily throughout the summer. All our trains offer stunning views of the Norfolk coast between Sheringham and Weybourne, Sheringham Park and Kelling Heath. We have a wide range of special events throughout the year to cater for the young and young at heart, see our website for our latest programme.
What a wonderful time we all had on the North Norfolk Railway. We are big train fans, my husband and 3 teenage children and our newest addition 4 months old Peggy the puppy, she had a great time too. The work that the volunteers do to keep this fabulous piece of history going is second to none. We boarded at Holt, plenty of parking and all necessary amenities. Beautifully kept station and very clean. All the volunteers we came across were helpful and friendly. We took the steam train to Sheringham for lunch. The yellow timetable was running for half term and it suited us well. We all love steam trains and were not disappointed. Keep up the good work!

We specifically decided to go to Sheringham Park to explore the Repton designed landscape and were not disappointed. The entrance exhibition was helpful and informative and the self guided walk leaflet led us to all the points of interest which we wanted to see. The estate is well maintained, staff were helpful and the coffee kiosk had a good range of snacks and drinks

We ventured to Sheringham because of a Knitting craft fair, then found out that The Mo Museum had a Netherlands Gansey exhibition. We had been warned that there was an entrance charge, but £3 (concessions) was worth the couple of hours we took to look around. A small museum but it packs a lot in.
After paying and being advised that the ticket was an 'all day one' we were greeted inside and given a quick run-down on where things were and how the museum got the unusual name. Also not to be alarmed if we heard a loud clunk as a pump started up.
The museum tells the story of fishing and sea rescues around Sheringham through the years with many interesting artefacts and story boards. I unfortunately do not always stand and read these boards, especially as I wear bi-focal specs and depending on the height of the board either have to stand four feet away or within a couple of feet, to get the writing in focus!
They have at least 2 types of Lifeboat as we know them, in the museum but alas you are not allowed on board, with an earlier type that was 'man powered', yes rowed. There is a walkway on the first floor so you can look down on the vessels.
The displays are over two floors with an observation tower on a third, that over looks the coast.
Tucked away is a display and explanation of the offshore wind farms with a fixed telescope so you can view them on the horizon.
The museum hasn't long been built and they have included toilets on 2 floors and a disabled lift, which looked wide enough for a wheel chair.

On our visit to Sheringham this week we walked along the Promenade and on past the RNLI station heading towards Weybourne, the beach pebbles are quite large and could be difficult for persons unsteady on their feet. If the tides out it could be possible to walk along the sand, overall it was a lovely afternoon walk.

Visited the cafe today just for coffee & a hot chocolate as we thought it better to support the local theatre. The both drinks came out of a touch vending machine operated by the staff, who spent more time chatting to each other instead of engaging with the customer. The coffee was tasteless and watery as was the hot chocolate. For the price of £2.00 each it was pretty disgusting. When I complained I was told they were waiting for a new machine. Considering this was the busiest time of the year you can only wonder how a locally run Enterprise survives. Must do better! Very disappointing.

We stumbled across his cute little museum and are glad we did. My son who is 7 loves shells and he loved this place. It's tiny so only takes about 10 mins to wanader around but worth a look and the sculptures are brilliant.
Its free to enter and you can buy shells or souvenirs if you want to to help towards the upkeep.

We visited the lifeboat station and were pleased to find it open. As well as being able to inspect the modern lifeboat and its launching tractor, we were also able to read the boards detailing the station's history. Looking at these, made us realise the great service that is provided by the men and women of the lifeboat service which, if the boathouse had not been open, we would not have appreciated so fully.

Fisheries Heritage Centre displaying a rowing and sailing lifeboat operated by a large crew of fishermen in its original lifeboat shed.
Deep sea fishing was once the life blood of towns like Sheringham and this little museum pays tribute to the brave tough fisherfolk who made their living through this quite dangerous occupation. It charts the history of the ships and crews that toiled in the North sea to bring home the daily catches.
Well worth a quick visit when in town

This walk takes you around Sheringham Common - who knew Sheringham had a wildlife Common - and up and over Beeston Bump, purportedly the highest point in Norfolk. The views are great from the top, looking down on Cromer and Sheringham.
There are several boards espousing the fawner and floured of this protected area and a summary of the geology of the bump.
