For those approaching Weybourne from Holt the view
from the top of the hill looking down onto this Norfolk village is one
of the loveliest vista’s in Norfolk.
The village of Weybourne is surrounded by well ordered arable fields and
heathland. Its a good area for those who are looking for a village
location and who enjoy walking and birdwatching.
Weybourne beach is a pebble beach frequented by
anglers who make the most of the deep waters here for which Weybourne
has been famous for since the days of the Spanish Armarda. For those
wishing to paddle or swim the sandier beaches of Sheringham are just 3
miles down the coast.
Up the hill in the village is the North Norfolk Steam
Railway which links Weybourne with Sheringham and the inland Georgian
town of Holt. On the outskirts of the village is The 'Muckleburgh
Collection' with its working tanks and other military exhibits.
The collection is one of Britain’s largest privately owned collections
of working military vehicles and equipment
The village benefits from a good friendly inn, a
hotel with restaurant and a village shop where you can get basic food
supplies for your holiday vacation.
At nearby Upper Sheringham is Sheringham Park a magnificent combination
of natural landscape and human design. Designed by Humphrey Repton in
the 19th centuryfor Abbot Upcher, who sadly died before the park was
completed. However, his descendants filled the woods opposite the
house with hundreds of rhododendrons and azaleas that flower
spectacularly each spring. Now managed by the National Trust.
North Norfolk is a birdwatchers paradise and a prime
site for twitching. There are nearby sanctuaries at Holme, Titchwell,
Scolt Head, Blakeney and Cley.
Weybourne is pronouced Webbon, and is derived from an
old English word meaning felon's stream.
Try the Baron Art shop, just down the road at
Kelling where you can combine afternoon tea with looking at books and
works of art.
A priory stood here in the 12th century, some of its ruins still survive
in the grounds of the 15th century church of All Saints.
