Welcome to West Runton

West Runton is a charming village located on the North Norfolk coast. It is a popular destination for tourists due to its stunning beach, which is one of the best in the area. The beach is a mix of sand and shingle and is backed by high cliffs, which provide a dramatic backdrop. The beach is also home to a number of interesting rock formations, including the famous West Runton Elephant, which is a fossilised mammoth that was discovered on the beach in 1990.

The village itself is small but has a number of amenities, including a pub, a village shop, and a post office. There are also a number of holiday cottages and campsites in the area, making it a popular destination for families and couples. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, which is perfect for walking and cycling. There are a number of footpaths and bridleways in the area, which provide stunning views of the coast and the surrounding countryside.

West Runton is also home to a number of interesting historical sites, including the ruins of an ancient priory and a Roman fort. The priory was founded in the 11th century and was once one of the most important religious sites in the area. The Roman fort dates back to the 3rd century and was built to protect the coast from invasion. Both sites are open to the public and are well worth a visit. Overall, West Runton is a beautiful and peaceful village that is perfect for a relaxing holiday.
