West Runton and Beeston Regis Heath
West Runton and Beeston Regis Heath
This is the perfect place for a breezy walk along, or up and down, the hills of north Norfolk.
Enjoy the sun on the heaths or shelter from the wind in the woods.
In a stroll of a couple of miles you can see eight species of trees and depending on the season, a variety of flowers, birds, bees and butterflies.
Enjoy the views over the coastal villages and Sheringham; they are different every day.
Look for the signs of a Napoleonic signal station, near to the car park.
Rare Species
Our heaths are home to the white admiral, the rare barred chestnut moth,hummingbird hawkmoth and the silver-washed fritillary butterfly. Most years we also host nightjars, lizards, grass snakes and adders.
