Sheringham’s four Slow Ways are 56% checked
Help connect Sheringham
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Sheringham’s Slow Ways.

A route which may be done in sections with an ample car park (charged) at West Runton. This is the best location for fossil & Mammoth hunting. There are several information boards near the Coffee Kiosk/Museum next to the Mammoth....

A fantastic walk on the beach, it is 4 miles but may be longer if fossil and Mammoth bone hunting....
Jhmedland
Overall we enjoyed the picturesque walk from Holt to Sheringham, however we felt it would not be suitable for all. Facilities access - at one of the campsites we walked through, at the National Park and of course Holt & Sheringham itself. Return travel - if you don't fancy the walk back, it was easier enough to get a bus straight back to Holt....
Nicola
This version of the route has a couple of unnecessary deviations off route to the villages of Stiffkey and Weybourne, which adds almost 2 miles to the total route). There's ~5 miles (if I remember the waymarked sign correctly!) of walking along a shingle ridge between Cley and Weybourne which definitely took its toll on my knees, and might not be great for pram pushers or wheelchair users....
Jamie Gibson
We are relatively fit walkers but were very glad we decided to split the route in two, as especially tackling that stony beach stretch towards the end of the second day would be challenging especially if it had come after about 15 miles of walking - so probably only the keenest walkers would attempt the full almost 20 miles in one day....

Sign’s along the way warn of unstable cliff top between Cromer and East Runton which is reflected in the route which directs you to follow along the road....

like the other review, we had to walk along the main road where coastal erosion has forced a route change (the GPX file does reflect this)....

Hiking Historian
Lovely walk through woods, including Sheringham Park; along the coast with a few gradual climbs, before descending into Sheringham. Good shops and transport links at each end, and with the odd shop along the way, with the option of using National Trust facilities in Sheringham Park....
Hiking Historian
Rerouted walk uses much of the Norfolk Coastal Path, and as such is a route for foot only, as cyclists are not able to use the footpath, and gates and steps, especially on Beeston Bump, excludes wheelchairs, except for near Cromer. That said, it's a very enjoyable coastal route, with some necessary diversions inland and along paved roads where the old route has fallen into the sea! Good amenities and transport links at both ends, and a store at West Runton halfway through....

Not sure how this route was verified, as chunks of it are unachievable due to coastal erosion, leading to footpaths vanishing....
Hiking Historian
This route would be fine if it followed the waymarked coastal footpath but currently tries to take you across a closed clifftop footpath that is either impossible or dangerous to follow around East Runton. At low tide an alternative is to walk from Sheringham to Cromer along the beach...

Great coastal route, tough going in places as steep steps up Beeston Bump but spectacular views all the way....

From here the trail follows a bridleway to the Quag where it turns right onto a much narrower track and ultimately ends up joining the Norfolk Coast Path at Kelling Hard. At Weybourne beach car park the SlowWay turns away from the coast path into Weybourne on a well prepared path. At the windmill, turn left down a byway to rejoin the Norfolk Coast Path at houses near the cliff top. An alternative route to avoid Weybourne is to continue following the Norfolk Coast Path from the car park directly to the houses mentioned above, where there is kissing gate....
Black Squirrel
Follow the promenade east past a first row of beach huts, to find a steep set of 59 steps to the right and a ramp leading uphill to the Norfolk Coast Path and cliff top. Follow the coast path, passing a couple of caravan parks, with one awkward pinch point to arrive at West Runton. So follow the Norfolk Coast Path along the A149 through East Runton village and onwards. After East Runton, the Norfolk Coast Path takes a rather artificial route through yet another caravan park and across an open area which doubles as a car park and picnic area....
Black Squirrel
Picturesque enough, especially when going over the "bump" but later stages traverse a succession of caravan/camping sites, which is less interesting, and feels slightly intrusive. Path is generally good, being a mix of hard standing, trail, and grass, but a steep set of steps going up the bump renders it inaccessible to buggies and wheelchairs....
