The highest point of Norfolk (yes, it does have one!) climbed in a lovely coastal circuit from West Runton.

The highest point of Norfolk county as climbed by Alex Staniforth during his Climb The UK challenge in 2017, climbing all 100 UK county high points in 72 days for Young Minds. Here's the route to try it for yourself. To find out more please visit www.alexstaniforth.com

A gentle and varied route, starting on roads in the village before following a bridleway through dense woodland of Fair Lady Plantation. After Sandy Lane you cross the lane to the summit of Beacon Hill, marked by a large white pole with a clearing in the trees giving a glimpse of the coast. Descend via forested tracks past the remains of the Augustinian Priory, it's worth adding in Beeston Bump for a great coastal viewpoint, and returning along the cliffs via the Norfolk Coastal Path.

Start/finish: Beach Car Park, Water Lane, West Runton

Great spot for an ice cream! There is a small cafe and toilet facilities available.
