The chalk pit at Odiham looks much the same today as it did over 100 years ago, except that most of the buildings are no longer there. An old story I heard in the The Bell Pub, mentioned the local hunt gathering in the Bury Square ...Read more

Terraces of solid Victorian houses overlook the cliffs, with brick walls and wrought iron railings protecting the gardens.

East Runton offered visitors the same spectacular cliff scenery and ample beaches as its close neighbour, Cromer, but less of the noise and bustle.

The few scattered caravans on the cliff top mark the site of what has now become a vast 'caravanopolis' with hundreds of caravans, a car park, a restaurant and a shop.
