Beeston Regis
The countryside in which Beeston Regis is situated is part of Norfolk's "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty".It was formed by the retreating ice at the end of the ice age. It sits within an area known as the "Cromer Ridge"and from heathland to the south, it goes downhill to the cliffs ands beaches. Part of these cliffs is a hill called "Beeston Bump" from the top of which wonderful views of the surrounding land and sea can be experienced. Each Easter the combined churches in the area make a pilgrimage carrying a cross to the top of the bump and an open air service is performed.
The main features of the village are the cliff top Parish Church, the ruins of an Augustinian Priory (a world heritage site), Beeston Hall School- a renowed private school; Beeston Bump; the two Commons-one of which, Beeston Common, is a Site of Specific Interest;the sea and wooded Beeston Heath to the villages southern Border.
