Overstrand, Norfolk, UK
SEE MY HISTORY PAGE ON FACEBOOK :
A walk in the village of Overstrand on the north coast of Norfolk, 3km east of Cromer. Starting off on the Royal Cromer Golf Course, I follow a path at the top of the cliff along the sea front before walking through the village.
As can be seen in this film, coastal erosion is a major problem. The soft boulder clay cliffs slump because of the water running through the clay, and the resulting material on the beach is removed by the succeeding high tides. And so the process continues over the years. In the neighbouring village of Sidestrand, the whole church was moved back from the cliff edge in the 19th century, though the tower of the church was left standing on the cliff top.
Out to sea there used to be another town but was unfortunately victim to the seas erosion on East Anglia, this town has been nicknamed Understrand.
The London journalist and travel writer Clement Scott came to Overstrand in 1883, christened the area ''Poppyland'', and wrote about the church tower on the cliff edge and its Garden of Sleep. While in Overstrand he stayed at the Mill House with miller Alfred Jermy and his daughter Louie. Louie became the Maid of the Mill in his articles about ''Poppyland''.
Scott had many London contacts in the theatrical world, and his writings led a number of them and others from London society to come to Overstrand. Some bought land in the village and had houses built there, and for a while the village was the place to visit. A large hotel was built on the cliff edge, though this slid into the sea in the 1950s.
Whilst the large houses of the gentry have largely passed from private ownership to other uses, the visitor to Overstrand can still appreciate the development that took place at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.
The Overstrand biplane bomber was named after the village; being made at the nearby Boulton & Paul aircraft factory in the early 1930s
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced around 1,800 original films, most in English. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects.
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
The walk from Burnham Overy Staithe in North Norfolk to Gun Hill.
This is a great walk from the car park at Burnham Overy Staithe in North Norfolk to the beach at Gun Hill. The Norfolk coast path crosses the marsh and sand dunes to one of the finest beaches in all of England. If you visit in late July you will see the sea lavender in full bloom. Sandwich terns nest on nearby Scolt Head Island and there are numerous types of wildfowl and waders in the area. Take a picnic and have a great day.
Discover North Norfolk - #YEAROFDISCOVERY - Visit North Norfolk
Perhaps you've visited North Norfolk before and can't wait to return. Or maybe a friend has been raving about their last holiday here and you've decided to find out what all the fuss is about.
Whatever your reason, North Norfolk is a very special place begging to be discovered and enjoyed.
It's a place where everlasting memories are made!
From the unspoilt and empty beaches of Holkham and Brancaster (favoured by everyone from kite-boarders to film makers), to the family friendly sands of Hunstanton, Sheringham, Cromer and Mundesley, the North Norfolk Coast is truly remarkable.
There's a whole other world waiting to be discovered.
Old Hunstanton to Hunstanton (1.5 miles)
A short coastal walk from Old Hunstanton village to the seaside town of Hunstanton in North Norfolk, UK. A total distance of under two miles, starting and finishing at bus stops served by the local Coasthopper bus service.
The North Norfolk coast - dunes, sandy beach and sea at Burnham Overy Staithe
Big beaches, big skies, and very few people - North Norfolk's beaches are great places to be. Norfolk is also renowned for its wildlife, and the sounds on this clip are the sounds of birds that feed on the local shoreline.
From the boathouse and quay at Burnham Overy Staithe on the main A149 coastal road, start walking to the right until you come to the footpath which leads along the top of a sea defence dyke and runs along the side of the main channel.
Redshanks and Godwits can often be seen feeding in the mud to the left, while on the right you may see Skylarks or Lapwings and geese depending on the time of year.
The path takes a right turn after a while, and then a turn to the left before rising up over the dunes and then rewarding you with this view, and the prospect of spending time at one of Norfolk's hidden gems.
On the way back you can call at the boathouse, which as well as being a chandlery for the local boat owners sells snacks, hot drinks, clothing and some gifts. Alternatively, there is the Hero pub (Named for Admiral Lord Nelson, who learned to sail in this area) which sells good beer and food.
SWC Free Walk 70, Part 3, Wells-Next-The-Sea to Cley-Next-The-Sea. 7/2/12.
Another bracing 10 miles in the snow and fantastic scenery of North Norfolk. Unfortunately though, this is only a short snapshot of this section as said weather drained my camera battery quicker than anticipated!
Leaving Wells, the walker is soon in familiar marshland surroundings; delightfully remote and tranquil today! After a short respite for a hot drink in the hostelry at Stiffkey, there's more marshland walking through to Morston and then on to Blakeney. Intensely bitter Easterly winds killed this walker's camera battery somewhere around Blakeney Eye, meaning no windmill at Cley in this video. Next time!
Another lovely day's walking, despite the chill, providing some less frequently seen snowy views of the coastline here.
