Sheringham Park Visit and Walk

Today I took Dawn to Sheringham Park to see the Rhododendrons and go for a walk down to Weybourne and along a stretch of the Norfolk Coast.

The walk was one I had first done with Joyce's group at the beginning of June 2019 (see here), which you can find on the National Trust site here. We did it during half term last year too (see here).

The flowers were nearly at their best and, furthermore, like last year, the station at Weybourne was open and we got to visit it as the trains stopped.

This was our route, going clockwise.

Here are a few of my photos.

Approaching Weybourne station.

Learning how to operate the signals.

The allotment...

...and Anderson shelter.

We saw both steam trains arrive and depart the station. The carriages were pretty full.

Now down to Weybourne village.

We visited All Saints, Weybourne church...

...and the ruins of Weybourne Priory.

The bus shelter has a mirror so you can see the buses coming.

We went into the Ship Inn for a drink and found they had a spare table for lunch so we had lunch as well.

Then it was down to the beach and along the coast path for a bit.

Dawn loves to see the sea thrift.

We saw one of the steam trains again,,,

...and the diesel mixed passenger and good train.

I climbed the gazebo to see the view - it was closed last year.

Then it was back through the park...

...via the temple.

We returned through the rhododendrons.

A lovely day out, even though the wind was cold and we didn't get any sun.

You can see more details of our route here on MapMyWalk (and download a GPX file here) and see more of my photos here on Flickr.
