Sheringham Country Park

Wander through Sheringham Park and you’ll discover why it became the personal favourite of its designer, Humphry Repton. You can still see Repton’s ‘Red Book’ showing his designs for the Park.
Famous for its vast collection of rhododendrons and azaleas, the last owner, Tom Upcher, would hold rhododendron champagne parties in the 1950s to show them off. Ladies would arrive in their fine gowns, some wearing Wellington boots to walk down the main carriageway, sipping champagne and admiring the colours.

Today, you can climb to the top of the towers to experience breathtaking views of this beautiful landscape.
