Overview
If we had to recommend a perfect time to visit Sheringham Park, the gardens come alive in spring and are positively bursting with colour. But then again, the crunch of autumn leaves and moodier skies are also very hard to resist.
When you arrive, pop in to the visitor centre to pick up map. It details all the routes and their difficulty rating, and highlights which areas are safe for your furry friend to be off lead. If we had to pick just one, we’d say grab your walking boots (and camera) and head out on the seven mile woodland and coastal walk that includes a stop at the Gazebo and Repton’s Temple. You’ll be hard pushed to find more breath-taking views.
Take plenty of water for your pup on sunny days as there’s little to no shade on some of the routes. Or opt for one of the shaded forest walks when the sun is at its highest in the sky. There’s a small café but if you pack a picnic, there are plenty of lovely spots to stop and sit. It really is the perfect park for a day out with your precious furry friend.
For The Dogs
Dogs are welcome in the woodland, parkland and clifftop areas at Sheringham Park but between 1st March and 31st July, they must be kept on a lead.
You’ll find water bowls outside the visitor centre and the café – at busy times, you may have to ask a member of staff for a refill.
Opening Hours
Please check the National Trust website as opening times vary throughout the year.
Parking
There is a large car park which is free for National Trust members.
The Area
Want to rest weary paws after a walk around Sheringham Park but still want to take in more sights? Hop on the North Norfolk Steam Railway. It takes you on a trip from Sheringham itself to the Georgian town of Holt, taking in the county’s most stunning coastal scenery along the way. For beachside adventures, head to Wells-next-the-Sea. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round subject to certain restrictions. While a small area is kept dog free, the largest stretch is completely dog friendly with space to run, play and splash.
