Yep, Winterton-on-Sea is a Village to be Proud of and a great place to live. But, we are contemplating down-sizing from our 10-year old 4-bed house in the village and moving on. If you are interested in moving to Winterton, leave your contact details HERE and we will get back to you. Offers above 310k (with no Estate Agents fees), are invited.

Would like to thank the people of Winterton for another wonderful weeks holiday spent in the village.Our dogs have had a fantastic time walking along the valley and on the beach.Just a shame that the weather wasnt too kind.We have been coming to Winterton for six years now and we love it!!!
Did find an increase in dog poo along the valley though this time especially on the wide open spaces where people walk.Any chance of a poo bin at the bottom of the steps leading from Winterton Valley Estate??? See you next year!!!!!

I'm very pleased to see that the Edward Birkbeck has safely returned to Winterton-on-Sea. Having spent many years owning and sailing on board her I am so happy that she has now returned home and will be well cared for in her "old age". I look forward to being able to visit her and following her restoration once a dedicated web site is set up. Lyn Brown

The Seal Hospital at Winterton is very definately closed down, the whole disgusting mess is to be demolished, Harry Nickerson who ran it ,is in court early May on 8 charges of cruelty to seals, these charges were bought about by the RSPCA..these facts are already in the Public domain. Unfortunately the web site and facebook is still runnibg and asking for donations....be aware.

If help is needed for seals, please contact as already suggested Marine Life Divers , or contact Seal & Bird Rescue Trust, Ridlington , 01692 650338

Couldn't agree more with Stephanie - just be a bit more considerate to others. No right when your dog is on a lead because he is not sociable with other dogs and then and unleashed animal bounds up causing confrontation. People also seem put out when you ask them to call their dog back!

Dog mess and disturbance to wildlife. As a responsible dog owner, I always walk my dogs on the lead and pick up after them...why, especially on the dunes, are certain dog owners allowing their dogs to mess and run havoc on the dunes? It seems they don't know what leads are for and have never heard of a poop bag. Apart from disturbing the wildlife - we have rare Terns, Knatterjack toads and seal pups - and apart from leaving huge dog turds that would do an elephant proud, not everyone likes having a strange large dog jump all over them! Unless you have a dog that is obedient - you know dogs that don't stray when you call them once and are within seeing distance - keep doggy on the lead. In fact it is law http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/enjoying/countrysidecode/keepdogs.aspx Thanks.

in repsose to the comments re seals and their pups, I totally agree people should be more responsible. The Winterton Seal Hospital/Sealife Centre is often asking for volunteers and had a recruitment drive to cover the DecemberJanuary pup period, they might be worth a try to see if they need any more recruits for their "Ness Ranger" scheme.

In reply to Donna post no 382 I do a lot of voluntary work for the Broads Authority and along with Natural England and Norfolk Wildlife Trust a scheme for seal wardens takes place this time of year when there are a lot of pups being born.There has this year been a dramtic rise in the numbers being born and as this has been widely reported by the media it also has attracted a record number of visitors.Over the weekends and Christmas period seal wardens do shifts to try and warn the public,keep dog walkers at bay,look after the welfare of the seals and try and answer any questions that people may have.The seals always creat a lot of interest and we are very lucky to have them here at Winterton/Horsey.There is talk of forming a Friends Group for the seals and more news will follow soon.

Hello All,
I am looking for a person to share a car journey with. I live in Winterton, I work in Norwich and because of this I travel by car to Norwich and back every day during the week.
I used to share a lift with someone from Martham (but it is not convenient any longer) and it worked well. We took it in turns, so I didn't need to use my car every day. I work full time, but my hours are flexible.
Please let me know if you are interested - this really helps with fuel cost and helps environment too.
Ewa

Winterton is such a beautiful place, I live nearby and visit often. Have spent many a peaceful summers day on the dunes watching the wildlife.
I am very concerned with the way the public are treating the Seals, this year it has been alarming and disturbing to see so many people so near the pups.
Is it possible to place signs around the car park and village to alert tourists to the risks they are putting the Seals in?
Please encourage people to stay off the beach while the vunerable pups are there.

Have fond memories of holidays in Winterton. My Aunt, my Mother's sister lived there in what was then the second last house on the beach road. When I holidayed there as a child it was possible to walk straight on to the beach, unlike now, or is my memory failing me?
I also remember boats lying on the beach, that would have been about 1953.
A beautiful village, one day I should like to go back for another visit.

Just a note to say that we are the new owners of Periwinkle Cottage in The Lane,
We both love Norfolk and after a holiday in Winterton on Sea decided its where we want to retire to. The cottage has been a successful holiday let for the past four years and after some updating and decorating we intend to carry on with this in 2012.
We live and run our own business in Buckinghamshire and look forward to many visits throughout the year. Everyone we have met so far has really welcomed us and we are very grateful to Jean and David for their help and advise in the recent weeks. We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy new year.

Would like to thank the person driving the Audi Quattro out of the beach car park this afternoon who decided it would be clever to speed up and drive too fast down Beach Road through the huge puddles building up in the heavy rain. Rosie would especially like to shake their hand and thank them for washing her trousers in freezing water......IDIOT.

We agree with previous comments regarding banning the parking along Beach Road through the whole year - if people genuinely want to come and admire the area, then £3 is a small charge for this privilege.

December 26th and 27th, what a total shambles in Beach Road, it is going to take an accident before anything is done about the rediculous situation about parking along this road. There should be permanent "NO PARKING" along this road. We now have IDIOTS parking on the south side over the double yellow lines and over a pavement, this is PRIVATE LAND and they are trespassing. The wider parts of the road should be made into passing places for safety. We should have a Special Constable in the village who can issue Parking Tickets! Then it will be cheaper to pay for the Car Park. It is a pity you cannot post photos of these vehicles i have some. Come on Parish Council lets see some action before this village gets totally spoilt and the sand dunes flattened!!

Just been to the Oxfam bookshop in St Albans, Herts, and purchased a postcard of Hotel Hermanus, four views and one of Winterton Beach, postally dated 1961, sent to a family in Hampstead Garden Suburb. It appears "Meryl and Peter" were having a good time with good weather and Andrew was enjoying himself in such a wonderful place for children!" Look forward to March when we can start using our chalet again. Kirsty and Des

Totally agree with Anon's comments below, if People cant afford to pay £3 for all day parking on the Beach Car park, it's a sorry old world, it has to be one of the cheapest Car parks around the area, putting that to one side, its the damage that is being done to the Dunes, which must be stopped.

Also noted Cars were parked with two wheels on the Village Green.

Maybe this is something to be raised at the next Parish meeting.

The car parking in Winterton today (boxing day) has been a complete disgrace with vehicles parking along the road and actually on the dunes rather than in the car park and some cars even driving through the wooden bollards and parking alongside the pavement. In addition some cars were driving back into the village from the beach at the point the bollards stop with two wheels on the road and two wheels on the pavement to pass other cars with scant consideration for pedestrians. It would be better if cars were forbidden to park along the road to the beach all year round. Such selfish people might come to enjoy the dunes but they are causing irreparable damage.
