Authentically restored heritage railway station - you get a great view from the adjacent road bridge. Appeared in Dad's Army as Walmington-on-Sea station.

Impressive country house, run by the National Trust but the driveway through the grounds is open to cyclists without charge.

Well worth seeing! Extensive parkland with marked hiking trails, a walled garden with many flowering plants and a dovecote and of course the manor house with its exquisite furnishings of valuable paintings and furniture. The property is managed by the National Trust.

Cley is the essence of a North North coastal village. The mill adds drama to the scene.

Great to watch the trains. You might need the stop on the bridge as its a bit of a climb from here.

Closed for restoration work as of Aug/Sept 2023, but you can still view from the car park. Baconsthorpe Castle is a moated and fortified 15th century manor house, that are a testament to the rise and fall of a prominent Norfolk family, the Heydons. Over 200 years, successive generations of this ambitious family built, then enlarged, and finally abandoned this castle. Sir John Heydon probably built the strong inner gatehouse during the turbulent Wars of the Roses period, and his son Sir Henry, whose memorial can be seen in Baconsthorpe Church, completed the fortified house. In more peaceful times, their descendants converted part of the property into a textile factory, and then added the turreted Elizabethan outer gateway, inhabited until 1920 (https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/baconsthorpe-castle/)
