Walcott is a small coastal village on the North Sea coast of North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, sitting roughly between Cromer and Happisburgh and within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s known for its long shingle-and-sandy beach, holiday caravans and cottages, easy access to the Norfolk Coast Path and good opportunities for birdwatching and seaside walks.
The local economy leans heavily on tourism alongside traditional agriculture and some small-scale fishing, and the village has a strong, close-knit community that swells in summer. Like many places on this stretch of coast, Walcott has had to manage coastal erosion and storm damage in recent years, which has shaped local planning and sea-defence efforts.
