Ringstead is situated about 4 miles inland from Hunstanton, a traditional seaside
resort, famous for its sunsets across the Wash and for kite and wind surfing. Nearby are the quieter sandy beaches of Brancaster
and Holme-next-the-Sea. Further
afield is the famous beach at Holkham, used as a setting for the film Shakespeare in Love.
Children will enjoy the playground next to the church, with swings, slides and roundabout.
The village is on the path of Peddars' Way, an ancient route stretching from
Thetford to the North Norfolk coast and so it is an ideal base for walking or cycling with undulating terrain and numerous
pretty villages to visit.
Ringstead Downs is an area of chalky grasslands famous for its wild flowers in the spring
and early summer.
The area is also well known for bird watching with local reserves at Snettisham and Tichwell Marsh
(both RSPB) and the National Trust reserve at Brancaster Staithe.
