Sheringham
is a traditional seaside town that originally grew on the crab
fishing trade, which still goes on. The town is a mixture of
Victorian and Edwardian houses and fishermen's cottages. It
has a variety of shops, galleries and boutiques and an interesting
town clock. Sheringham is a reasonably quiet resort with clean
golden sandy beaches and rock pools at low tide.

bloom. There is also a 'handkerchief tree'.There are great views
of the coast and viewing towers give views across tree tops.
