Sheringham Park is home to a variety of habitats, including woodland, parkland, farmland, a Wild Garden and clifftop areas – each of which is home to a wide range of wildlife and plants. From Britain’s smallest bird, the firecrest, to the largest mammal, the red deer, you never know what you might discover during your visit.

Walking around Sheringham Park

Landscape gardener Humphry Repton once stated that: ‘Sheringham possesses more natural beauty and local advantages than any place I have ever seen.’ There are around 1,000 acres to explore, with walking trails to suit all ages and abilities.

Marked trails

The estate contains four waymarked routes, with distances ranging from one to five miles. Along with stunning coastal views, there's every likelihood that you'll spot some of the estate's varied wildlife, which includes butterflies, birds and three different species of deer.
