Things To Do within Walking Distance
Within walking distance of Weybourne Home Farm Holiday Cottages are the beach, various walks (along the shore itself, over the low cliffs, or inland through woods), the North Norfolk Steam Railway, the Muckleburgh Military Museum, a church and a chapel, various places to eat, and the local shop.
The Beach
Being a coastal village the sea is only a 10 minute walk away from the cottages. This is not a bathing beach due to the deep water, but what I call a 'stone throwing' beach. It is a working beach where the local fishermen bring back their catch and anglers land mackerel and other seasonal fish.
The beach is a beautiful place to sit, watch, and listen to the drawing in and rolling of the waves, particularly while the sun dips into the sea at the end of the day.
Walking
'All the best things in life are free', and walking from Weybourne is no exception. From the beach you can start the picturesque 3 mile cliff top walk to Sheringham, or head west towards the Salthouse Marshes to enjoy the migrating bird life.
Within 15 minutes of Weybourne Home Farm Cottages you can walk to the Cromer/Holt Ridge. You will find numerous inland walks over wide expanses of heath land and woodland, and walks taking you past the North Norfolk Railway and through Sheringham Park. In the park, besides seeing other wildlife you may catch a glimpse of the UK's smallest deer, the munkjack.
North Norfolk Steam Railway
A 15 minute walk takes you up to the North Norfolk Steam Railway linking the seaside town of Sheringham and the pretty Georgian town of Holt. Regular services run throughout the year, including many special events such as 'Thomas the Tank' and '1940's weekends.
Muckleburgh Military Museum
On the edge of Weybourne, just 10 minutes walk from Home Farm, is a collection of 16 working tanks and over 3000 other military exhibits - the Muckleburgh Military Museum. This is a good half a day out for all generations, with a lot of local history too.
Weybourne Village
Some of the highlights of the village are (more at Weybourne Village Guide):
Church and Chapel
In the centre of Weybourne are two places of Worship - the tiny but very active Methodist Chapel, and All Saints Church, with the priory ruins in its grounds.
Places to Eat
Within staggering distance from our cottages is The Ship public house, which serves fine ales and hot food most lunchtimes and evenings. Also, just a few minutes walk away, the Maltings Hotel provides bar meals and a restaurant. Bunties’ is a small tea room serving tea, coffee, snacks and light lunches.
We are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a good place to eat within the surrounding area. Paul and I can recommend various places to suit the occasion, whether it is for young families, a special occasion, fish and chips, or Sunday lunch.
The Village Shop
Just 5 minutes walk away is Weybourne Stores, where you can pick up all your basic food supplies, toiletries, newspapers, magazines and DVDs. The shop not only offers your basic supplies but also has a coffee bar, serves cakes, pastries and quality picnic food.
A larger food outlet can be found in Holt, just 3 miles away.
