Franklin Hill

Standing at 329 feet above sea level, this modest ridge offers surprisingly sweeping views across Norfolk's patchwork countryside towards the North Sea. The grassy summit sits just east of Cromer, making it an easy detour for anyone staying at nearby Beeston Regis Holiday Park or Kelling Heath Holiday Park.

Walkers will appreciate the gentle climb through farmland and woodland paths, though the approach can get muddy after rain - proper walking boots recommended. From the top, you can pick out Cromer's pier on clear days, plus a lovely panorama of rolling fields dotted with churches and farm buildings stretching inland.

Families with young children might find it a bit tame compared to Norfolk's coastal attractions, but it's perfect for a quick leg-stretch if you're touring the area. Dog walkers love it here, with plenty of space to roam and interesting scents to follow.

The hill sits on public footpaths, so access is free and unrestricted year-round. Allow about an hour for the walk up and back, plus time to enjoy the view. Early morning or late afternoon visits offer the best light for photos and fewer people sharing the space.

Combined with a trip to Cromer's beach or the nearby Norfolk Coast Path, Franklin Hill makes for a pleasant morning out from your holiday park base.
