Beeston Regis & The Runtons sits on a gently undulating stretch of the North Norfolk coast in Norfolk, England, taking in the small villages of Beeston Regis, West Runton and East Runton. The ward is defined by low cliffs, shingle and sandy beaches and lies within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with popular coastal walking routes linking nearby resorts such as Sheringham and Cromer.
Historically the area is noted for the atmospheric ruins of Beeston Regis Priory and a medieval church, while modern interest often centres on fossil finds from West Runton beach - including the famous mammoth remains - which draw hobby palaeontologists as well as holidaymakers. The local economy blends tourism and holiday accommodation with small-scale agriculture, producing a strong village community feel, a handful of pubs and seasonal events rather than heavy commercial development.
