The Norfolk Coast Path - Part 4. Weybourne to Cromer Pier.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- In this video, I continue along the stunning Norfolk Coast Path on the staggeringly beautiful North Norfolk Coast. I set off from my overnight wild camp spot on the beach near Weybourne, past old world war two gun emplacements, anti aircraft batteries and coastal defences, up onto the cliffs towards the seaside town of Sheringham and finally onto the old pier at Cromer.
Cromer marks the end of this leg of the trail, the halfway point. I have thoroughly enjoyed the walk so far, passing some of the most spectacular coastal scenery on offer in the East of England. Classic traditional seaside towns, ancient ports, sandstone cliffs, sand dunes, wide sandy beaches, salt marsh, reed beds, shingle beaches and yet more cliffs giving you a rewarding vantage point with views along the coastline - this walk has it all!
I will return other day to continue the trail………….stay tuned!
I would like to apologise for the deterioration in picture and sound quality during the video - my camera had an unfortunate encounter with the North Sea and gave up the ghost. I filmed the remainder of the video on my phone and GoPro, neither of which have good audio.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Thank you Simon for taking me to places I'll never get to in person. Beautiful scenery.
That was great - just what we all needed to escape reality for a few minutes
Your shadow made me giggle 😊. Take care and stay safe, that goes to everybody out there too 👍
Thank you! You too. 👍
Thank you Simon, I am thoroughly enjoying this series of walks, I have also been following your route on Google Earth on my second monitor. I am a great fan of this part of Norfolk and am very familiar with it. Although I live on the south coast near Hastings, I escape to Norfolk as often as my wife will let me free for a few days. I am approaching 77 now and am amazed at your perceived walking speed, I would be left way behind if I tried to keep up with you; about 8 miles in one leg is enough for me these days. I am looking forward to following you on all your adventures in the future, as a severe insomniac, you are getting me through the long and pleasantly quiet, winter nights.
Love the videos. I'm hiking the Jurassic coast in Dorset soon, including a wild camp at Winspit Quarry. Can't wait!
Stunning, refreshing, relaxing. How fortunate to be living in this part of the world.
I really like your walkabout bye the ocean , peaceful and your filming is excellent . Britain now has the longest coastal walk in the world . Wonderful , thank you for sharing .
...wow, that time-lapse start Simon - brilliant! The pack up is such a chore, and you need to be systematic as you show. I move a lot slower! Honestly, I take an hour each pack up! That said - in an emergency or heavy rain I can do it in 20 mins max. Stuff and go!
Simon thank you for showing me more of your country I really enjoyed the video as as always so I'm in please stay safe and as always God bless
Every mile a wonder. Thanks. The shoes wear out quickly, I'm sure. Especially doubling back to snag the camera. If only we could have a camera that could follow us.
Love watching these. Can't wait for the next one to Happisburgh. Love it there. :-)
Great series of videos, I had a surreal moment in Cromer, that of watching Memphis Belle in a completely empty cinema!
Thank you! I know that film got slated, but I really enjoyed it, can’t hear ‘Amazing grace’ without thinking of it! 👍
Thank you Simon for a very interesting and informative video. I admire your strength and endurance in doing that walk carrying your belongings on your back. I walked from Cley to Cromer over two sections in 2020 and found it interesting seeing your video. Michael Parkinson
Simon!! I'm going to have come there some day. It would only be fitting. I really like the coast line.... looks amazing. And to sleep on the shore for a night, would be awesome. 👍👍
Keep up the great videos!!
Cheers Simon. Just the escape I need!
Lovely video, how I, we, enjoy your outdoor adventurers.
Hi Simon, another fascinating video , the truth is that I find pleasure and comfort in following and watching your channel . Your efforts much appreciated ,Thanks a lot .👍✌️
Once we can travel again I think I'm going to have to take my first trip overseas and give this trek a shot. Thanks man.
Best time is out of season (September/October through to April) 👍
Awesome video and amazing views, thanks for sharing your videos take care see on next video 👍
How you got that smoke to go back into the steam train was amazing. Looking forward to the next one.
Very environmentally friendly, the trains around here! 😁👍
Yeah extended. Going to see part 5. Happy Holiday's if your celebrating. Happy Thanksgiving. What holidays do you have close?
Really well done. Awesome views. Thanks for the video!
Once again another great video, thanks Simon
Thank you for sharing 🙂✌🏼I really enjoyed it
Hello from Colorado - great video. I grew up in Sheringham and visit often. Walk this all the time. I'd recommend dropping down to the beach at West Runton, especially if the tide is out. Alternately, once you drop down the east side of Beeston Hill (bump) hang a right, cross the railway tracks, turn left on the Cromer road and just before the humpback bridge at West Runton take the dirt path headed south up to the North Norfolk Ridge and then follow the trails to Cromer. Its a wonderfully wooded walk.
Thank you! In my guide book, the path goes that way - through the woodland which I was looking forward to, but it seams the route of the path has been changed, to follow the coast - not sure it was the right choice! 👍
As always a real pleasure. The next part of the journey is the worst until you get to waxham . Then you get to the real jewel in the crown of the Norfolk Coast path, Winterton. My home villiage, bias! Lol
I know that area around Waxham quite well - many a family camping trip up there! 😁👍
Thank you , Simon .

Great video Simon, looked really refreshing, thanks for sharing👍
Great views to the lovely coast of Norfolk
Nice Video Simon. Thanks for taking us along.
Very Nice, Beautiful Place. Thanks for Sharing!!
Just discovered your channel, great content and well made
We’ll me and the wife have made the date for this walk thanks Simon 😁
I know the train is moving forwards but the smoke seems to be going back into the train! Oddest thing I've ever seen! Just found you and subscribed, watching your Norfolk coast series. Thank you for sharing such wonderful footage with us. I can see you really really go the extra mile for the footage! (pun intended).
Hi Simon
Great mini series..loved the whole walk from start to finish.. but there's more to come 😀😀will look forward the next mini series
Stay safe and well..👍👍
Thanks Phil - it’s one of those walks that just never ends! I’ll pick up the Angles way and follow the Waveney back to its source and then back to Knettishall (around 180 mile round trip) 😁
@@simonablokeinthewoods wow that's some distance.. ok I know from when I walked the Coast to Coast some years ago it's an amazing walk that took me a fortnight to do and I wild camped as well it just seemed as though it wasn't coming to an end..so I know how you feeling and you're only half way..but a great mini series all the same..and it maybe some time before you can pick it back up again..
So I hope that you and your family stay safe and well in these uncertain times ahead..👍👍👍😀😀
Wow great video , but the wind is incessant ..Loved the scenery !!
Living in Norwich the N Norfolk coast isn't far away. Just another reason why some of us are so lucky to live and work in this fine county.
Brilliant fella. Excellent work. Stay safe
Really enjoying this series, nicely done :)
Wonderful walking trail loved the first part and loved this part 2 just as much.
That’s some gorgeous video, sir. You could take still images from any number of spots and sell the framed prints as fine art photography!
Nice video Simon 👍. Spectacular visters 👍👍.
You'd never know you had a bum foot, Simon, with that final hyper push on the pier ! 😉 Thanks for another great vid. ATB - Darby
What a beautiful part of this wonderful planet! Thanks so much for sharing and your time. I can't bare to watch the news anymore, thank you for the escape. Your videos are top notch Simon. Keep it the good work,can't wait for the next one!
Thanks Simon - another great video - just the ticket when we are stuck at home with Coronavirus shut down! BTW - the map booklet A-Z Norfolk Coastal Path / Peddars Way covers your route with OS 1:25,000 strip maps - I had your video, the map booklet open and a handy mug 'o coffee tracking your progress! Well done on sharing your walk!
I’ll check out the A-Z version, i usually go for the Cicerone guides - they also have map sections in (albeit a narrow corridor of the terrain either side of the path) 👍👍👍
Thanks for joining me along the route!
Thank you for sharing your journey.
Great journey . Thanks for sharing
Love this video Simon, so much hard work that goes unnoticed in it, inspiring stuff

Part 4 of your hike is absolutely just as beautiful as part 3 -2& 1

Wow nice to see so much content on your channel. I like the Forrest ones better but nice to see variation to.
Have a nice evening Simon.
My favorite Simon vid is the Overnight Wild Canoe Camp from Sept 12, 2019. All my favorite elements and hand made kit

It was a beautiful & peaceful trek loaded with history. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels & God bless 🙏🏼⛺️😎
We have visited that area so it was really nice to see it again. You put such a lot of effort into your films which makes them very relaxing to watch. Thanks and I hope you and your family are safe and well in this troubling time.
Thank you! Keep well.
Lovely video , nice work ........And A Hill 0_0 !!!
I know, I felt a bit giddy up there! 😂
Great video simon fantastic view
being from across the pond - 'I keep dodging to the right' - when I see your 'walking amongst people'. then I remember that I wanted to do that in London also when I visited and had to remember left, left, left!!! really enjoy these hikes with you.
Hahaha - that’s caught a few people out over the years! 😂
We have discovered your channel during lockdown and watched every video now! You've inspired us to visit this beautiful coastal area once we are able. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Serena! It’s a lovely place to visit - busy during the summer (normally!) but worth it. 👍😁
Brings back fond memories if last year :) thanks!
Really enjoyed this Simon. To you, and all those watching, be safe and God bless. These are trying time's. Roger
Thanks Roger! Keep well. 👍
Brilliant walk thanks for capturing it, look forward to the next half. Stay healthy.
Nice part of the country.
I lived in Norfolk in the 90s and i loved it, i started in Norwich, then lived in Cromer and then Mundesley, absolutely stunning
Ive fond memories of that part of the world. Thanks for the video
Now that's how you do a long distance walking video! Awesome stuff mate and well done so far. Brings back very fond memories of when I did it years ago. Always wanted to try wild camping up on gramborough hill lol even though you're not really supposed to. Owned by the NT. LOVING this series so far. Looking forward to the next part.
Thanks mate! 👍
Beautiful video! Looking forward to the next leg! Thanks.
Awesome way to beat the coronavirus. And in style and with bushcraft too!
A real nice way to spend a couple of day. As always great camera work, beautifully filmed. Thanks Simon 👍
Beautiful day ♥️ Beautiful hike
Thanks so much for showing us this🙏♥️
The beaches are so Rocky in the UK it seems.. In the states there is alot more sand and less rock . Keep those feet in check Simon .. I'll see ya on the next one 😁
There is a good mix of sand and shingle - I definitely prefer sand! 😁👍
Wonderful scenic trek, love the ocean. Thanks for sharing.
Most of the hike was beautiful! What a lovely destination to hike to!
Just a beautiful part of the world!
Really inspiring, brought back great memories of holidays in Cromer and Norfolk
Love watching Simon it's a lovely part of the country and I would love to walk the coast
Hi Simon! Thanks for showing us another part of the Norfolk Coast Path! ATB André
Thank you for yet another informative and relaxing video Simon. Stay safe. Cheers from Denmark!
Great series, thanks for taking us along.
It is always a joy, stumbling across such exceptional channels as yours! Cracking work!
-- Cheers, from a young rambler alas stuck in the city due to the calls of higher education
Thank you! 👍
Wow! What a beautiful, virtual retreat for me in the middle of a chaotic day! Your videos are the most calming content I watch. Thank you friend!
Thank you!
Thanks Simon, nice non reversing train !.
And here I was thinking the UK had really jumped ahead on reducing carbon pollution. "Look! They've even built trains that recycle their own exhaust!" 😜😂
Hahaha - magic! 😉
Top marks Simon, you're a real star, many thanks Bro'.
Hello Simon, another GREAT ONE, Thanks. TAKE CARE..
Great video Simon!
Beautiful beaches, loved the history lesson. Beautiful little coastal town.. looked like you had a very nice walk, thank you for sharing!
ATB
Nice walk, I love the North Norfolk coast in winter you captured it well Simon!
Thanks Simon, as always, I really enjoyed this video, and what's more, it took my mind off the coronavirus.
Beautiful scenery and the landscape often interesting at different scales on this hike. Thanks for hauling us along, friend. A big hug to Mags.
