Sheringham is a compact seaside town on the north Norfolk coast in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, perched above a long shingle beach and facing the North Sea. The town combines a working fishing heritage with attractive wooded slopes and designed landscapes nearby at Sheringham Park, and sits on the edge of the wider Norfolk coast enjoyed by walkers and birdwatchers.
Culturally it blends traditional seaside life with a lively community calendar, from lifeboat and maritime history to annual carnivals, while tourism and small-scale fishing remain important to the local economy. The arrival of the railway in the Victorian era helped make it a popular holiday spot and today the preserved North Norfolk Railway runs heritage steam services to nearby towns such as Holt and Cromer, keeping that nostalgic seaside character alive.
