With its fun seaside vibe and friendly locals, it’s easy to see why Sheringham is a favourite holiday destination for many. A seaside break in Norfolk is perfect for family breaks, weekend escapes and magical days out. Here’s why YHA Sheringham should be your base for your next adventure in Sheringham.
It’s great for traditional seaside fun
If you love good old-fashioned promenades, colourful beach huts and locations with buckets (and spades) full of character, a seaside break in Norfolk cannot be beaten. This charming town boomed in the Victorian and Edwardian years and it’s packed with interesting buildings, shops and history. Spend the day building sandcastles and browsing the arcades, or treat yourself to the local fish and chips. We recommend visiting the Sheringham Railway Station, offering an opportunity to step back in time with a nostalgic ride on a steam train. All aboard!
There’s stunning scenery on the doorstep
Sheringham boasts some of the most stunning coastal scenery in the UK. The town is located within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering a variety of splendid landscapes. From the mighty cliffs to the golden beaches, you can explore the coastline by having a wander along the scenic walking trails, including the famous Norfolk Coast Path. Whether you’re enjoying a serene stroll along the beach or hiking along the cliffs, the natural beauty of this place is something to capture in your memory.
It’s home to wonderful wildlife
It’s no secret Norfolk is the bird watching capital of Britain – the county bulges out into the North Sea and is ideal for migrating birds. Explore the marshes and nature reserves for booming bitterns, honking geese and bearded tits! If you’re interested in nature reserves, you can also visit the nearby Blakeney Point, known for its cute seals and stunning wetlands.
There are lots of attractions for families
Kids will love the area’s family-friendly atmosphere and there’s plenty to thrill little ones on a seaside break in Norfolk. Sheringham’s Poppy Line North Norfolk Railway hosts many imaginative events and the Hilltop Outdoor Centre offers climbing, archery and more for adrenaline-junkies. You could even drive to Great Yarmouth for seaside fun at its best, or get some culture at Norwich’s castle or cathedral. Whatever you get up to, we’re sure you will have a great time.
It has a culture to be proud of
There’s always something going on in Norfolk, its why it makes for a perfect seaside break – just step outside of YHA Sheringham to be surrounded by a tight community of fishing, lifeboats and locally-run businesses. Sheringham has a thriving art scene centred in the Sheringham Little Theatre and streets of unique shops to browse. Look out for the vibrant carnivals and events celebrating the town’s rich history too. And there’s more – we have a hostel situated along the Norfolk coastline for you to discover. YHA Sheringham is close to some of the prettiest sea views in the East of England.
