Norfolk Coast Path · stage 5

Mundesley to Cromer

Clifftop field edges and woodland take us from Mundesley past the radar dome at Trimingham to Overstrand, where we drop to the beach below the cliffs for the walk into Cromer.

  • About 8 miles
  • About 3 hours walking

Closures

Diversion at Trimingham House. A cliff fall has pushed the path off the clifftop and through the Trimingham House caravan park. Follow the waymarks through the caravan park. The council's notice links to a map of the route.

Warning at Sidestrand. Erosion has eaten into the cliff at Sidestrand, so the path has been moved 4 metres further inland.

Diversion along the promenade at Overstrand. A cliff fall has come down onto the promenade at Overstrand, and the council asks you to keep off that stretch. Follow the diversion signs and the maps put up on site.
