Beeston Bump

Sheringham nestles under the nearby hill of Beeston Bump a geological SSSI which was the site of one of the World War II secret Y-stations. The Bump can be climbed using the Norfolk Coast Path from either the east or west. The Bump began forming between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago at the end of the latest Ice Age. The huge mass of ice caused a depression in the land and, as the ice melted, the land mass began to 'spring' slowly back in a process called Isostatic readjustment. This process still occurs in the UK, as Northern England is slowly rising.
