Nestling at the bottom of the woods of Pretty Corner and Roman Camp is the village of Upper Sheringham with its 14th century church at its heart.

Two hundred years ago there was a busy thriving community of fishermen here. In 1901 the old borough of Sheringham became two distinct parishes of upper sheringham and lower sheringham, with lower sheringham being the seaside resort. Cutting a dash with pebbles with many of the cottages having been built from beach pebbles which had been grounded and rounded by the North Sea.
  
On its outskirts you will find Sheringham Park which is now owned by the National Trust.
Designed in 1812 by Humphrey Repton the great landscape gardener (who is buried at Aylsham) for Abbot Upcher. The park boasts spectacular views of the coast and countryside and has a wonderful display of azaleas and rhododendron in May/early June. It also has a number of towers (of varying heights) which are well worth the climb in order to better appreciate the wonderful displays and the panoramic views.
Humphry Repton was the first to use the term 'landscape gardening' and in all he created some 200 gardens and parks, however it is said that Sheringham was his 'favourite and darling child'.

The village has a small post office and stores.  For a full range of shops and places to eat then head to the seaside town of Sheringham which is just down the road, with its other amenities for the holiday visitor - theatre - swimming pool - golf course - museum. 

Weybourne, just two miles away is a village of flinty cottages, a square towered church and a lovely private windmill. The stretch of shingle known as Weybourne Hope, is steeply shelving beach used by anglers.
During the Second World War, Weybourne Camp was an important anti-aircraft firing range and training camp. It is now the site of the Muckleburgh Collection, a museum of military equipment with a display of tanks, armoured cars and artillery. 

In the Church of All Saints, on one of the bench ends near the north door, there is a carving of a mermaid. The legend goes that a mermaid presented herself at the church door and asked to be admitted, but she was refused because she was not a Christian. However she managed to evade the church guardian and slipped into the church. Hence the carving. We've cheeked and it's still there.

There has been a church in Upper Sheringham since the Doomsday Survey, it was then valued at 4s.0d.

In the square is a well that was given to the village by Abbot Upcher in 1814 to celebrate European peace, following Napoleon's exile to Elba. Though this of course proved to be a bit premature! The well used to service the water requirements of the entire village until the 1950's
