Carolyn and Gerry recommended this walk from Salthouse and even supplied the cutting from the Eastern Daily Press. Like them, we found the directions in the cutting less than precise and were glad to have a real map.
The first section of the walk led us to Muckleburgh Hill (only docile cows here) - a good viewpoint for the rest of the route. We descended to the shore line, which has a beach, a shingle ridge and then salt marshes. You can walk along the top of the ridge, but its very hard work so we took the path at the landward side.

Rain was forecast between 10:00 and 13:00. We arrived at the start of the walk just after 10, and light rain duly arrived as we pulled into our parking space. We donned rainwear and headed up hill (yes there are some here) towards the church. It wasn't long before the rain stopped, it brightened up and T-shirts were order of the day.

Then off to Cromer for Rosie to have a dip (but not quite a swim) in the sea.
 These looked like the beach hut equivalents of council houses |  This house used to be The Whalebone Tearooms. We stayed here when we did the Norfolk Coast path pre-kids. The moulding is made of horse knuckle bones. |
