Forest bathing at Sheringham Park

Sheringham Park was laid out by the landscape designer Humphry Repton and is now cared for by the National Trust. It lies in Upper Sheringham on high ground close to the sea, and joins Weybourne Wood and Kelling Heath. The woods hold beech, oak, sweet chestnut, Japanese maple and golden larch, and the park is best known for its rhododendrons and azaleas, which flower in spring and early summer. Repton's Temple looks out over the parkland towards Sheringham Hall.

Start at the visitor centre, by the car park, café and toilets. Paths wind through the rhododendron woods towards the Gazebo, a viewing tower where you look down on the oak canopy and out to sea; on a clear day you can see Blakeney Point. The full woodland and coastal walk is about seven miles, with steep slopes, wet patches and a stretch along the cliff edge, so for a slower visit stay in the woods nearer the centre. Look for the handkerchief tree in May, and for brightly coloured fungi in autumn.
