If you're not interested in second world war stuff, daft pictures of an anti-tank trench and a bit of beach (there's quite a bit of beach) then this isn't a thread for you.
This is the Weybourne walk - Weybourne Hope being where we *thought* the Germans might try to land.

Item 1 - walking down from Sheringham Park and around the edge of Oak Wood, you'll practically trip over a spigot mortar base. Can't miss it. Makes me smile every day.
Item 2 - Pillbox: I think this is a Type 20 pillbox? Someone will know. Right next to that mortar base. Just one big room with a blast wall and door on the Oak Wood side - the picture of a chap in the recess is there on purpose to scare the willies out of youngsters at night.
Sheringham to Holt chuffa. The railway bridge is half-way along the track that runs from the Weybourne road down to the sea; the view underneath isn't bad - that's the volunteer coastguards' hut on the horizon.
Not sure if this will load but we'll give it a go - one for @NickoChampion - it's a Great Eastern Railway Beyer Peacock B12 (it says here). Steam engines are iconic from a distance, but they can be a bit hissy-whiffy up close, I can tell you.
On the other side of the bridge, coast side, two more Type 20s. Hundreds of people never realise they're there.
No better place to land. "He who would all England win, should at Weybourne Hope begin." The barbed wire's (mostly) been removed and the concrete pilboxes on the beach aren't there now, but still...
[Not my picture. I do remember them being there though, there was more than one - and if we were good we were allowed to climb up and sit on them.]

I call this "Windswept Woman Unreasonably Excited By Standing in Anti-Tank Trench." Which you can see. Here. Or what's left of it. Won't be long before it's all gone.
I told you there'd be a beach. As a consolation, there's also a picture of the Junkers Ju 88 that crashed here in 1941.
All three taken within a few minutes of each other, from the same spot. Look closely. That's the wall, which runs past the coastguards' cottages up on the cliff - there was a pillbox here once, too. On the beach. Plus, rainbow; plus, yes, I was drenched by the time I'd finished.
Finally, a sea tractor - which CLEARLY has tanks in its DNA, even though it has FIAT written on it. Weybourne Mill in the background, and only another three miles to walk to finish the round trip. Happy Sundays, everyone.
