Sheringham Park is a stunning National Trust parkland and garden on the north Norfolk coast, famous for its spectacular rhododendron and azalea displays in late spring and early summer. Families will love the diverse landscape of woodland, rolling parkland, and coastal heath, with miles of waymarked trails suitable for all abilities, including buggy-friendly paths.
Kids can burn off energy at the natural play area with climbing frames, swings, and a slide, or follow the 'Squirrel Trail' with interactive activities. The highlight for many is the adventure play trail through the woods, complete with a zip wire and balance beams. During the season, the 'Bumblebee Trail' and 'Dinosaur Trail' add extra fun.
Facilities include a well-stocked café (with kids' lunch boxes), picnic areas, baby-changing, and accessible toilets. The park has a free car park for members (pay & display for non-members). For a longer visit, pack a picnic and explore the coastline path to Sheringham town. Note: the park is very popular in May/June for the rhododendrons, arriving early is recommended.
