Sheringham began its life as a traditional fishing village and grew to be one of North Norfolk’s leading seaside resort towns. This significant change in status came about with the arrival of a steam railway, and there is still a heritage train line running from Sheringham to Holt that is one of the main attractions in the area. Visitors can also enjoy award-winning beaches, the quirky Little Theatre, colourful rows of beach huts, a range of watersports and a range of annual events that include a Viking Festival and 1940s-themed weekend.

Sheringham is one of the most popular places to visit on holiday on the North Norfolk Coast, with plenty of brilliant attractions on offer and lots of beautiful rural scenery. The top recommendations of what to see and do in the area are listed below.
Sheringham Beach is one of the six blue flag beaches on the Norfolk Coast, making it a brilliant spot to come with your family in the summer months. The beach looks quite pebbly when the tide is in, but once it goes out there is lots of smooth golden sand to enjoy and lifeguards on duty during the high season to watch over those who take to the water.
For an unusual couple of hours, visit the Peter Coke Shell Gallery. Coke was an artist, playwright and antique dealer who moved to the area in 1976 and began creating works of art with his shell collection later in life. There’s now a huge collection of these pieces on show at the gallery, which is free to visit and run by volunteers.
If you’re interested in the history of sailing in the area, you can visit both the RNLI Life Boat Station and the Fisherman’s Lifeboat Museum. Both of these will give you insight into the lives of the fishermen who lived in the town and the people who man the lifeboat station, with the chance to get up close to boats and other maritime equipment.
For a fun and unique experience, there is a heritage railway line run by the North Norfolk Railway that runs from Sheringham to Holt along the coast. Known as the Poppy Line, it’s been running since 1976 and occasionally runs special events as well as the regular journeys where you can enjoy dining on a steam train or experience days where visitors can help drive the train.
For a cultural experience of the town, The Little Theatre in Sheringham has a brilliant variety of events in its program. From theatrical performances to film screenings, this local arts centre also has a cafe and bar attached which is open until the evening and offers a great range of snacks and meals.
If the weather is good then an easy walk from Sheringham takes you to the Beeston Bump along the Norfolk Coastal Path. The trail is well signposted, and though there are some hilly sections on the way to the top of the landmark, the views of the sea make it worth it.
As with the majority of UK destinations, the best time to visit Sheringham is when it’s warm, dry and sunny. The summer months between June and September have the highest temperatures and lowest chances of rain, so visiting in this period of time will maximise your chances of getting good weather.
