Short birdwatching visit · Public coast path
Beeston Bump
Sheringham, Norfolk · NR26 8BU
Beeston Bump is a coastal hill on the eastern side of Sheringham, with a broad outlook over the sea, town and surrounding countryside. It is a useful short stop for watching birds moving along the coast, especially during migration, and for following seabirds across an open horizon. The county bird club lists regular Fulmar, Meadow Pipit and Linnet, with summer warblers adding interest around the vegetation. Several paths lead towards the summit, so choose a route that suits your footing and allow time to stop out of the wind. The exposed view rewards warm clothing even on a fairly short visit.
