COASTAL HOLIDAY COTTAGES
OVERSTRAND
NORFOLK
In its past the village was a fishing village this tradition still continues, but on a much smaller scale. Overstrand was popularised by Clement Scott, who coined the term Poppyland, because of the many wild red poppies which grew in the grass and wheat fields along the hedgerows and on the cliffs.
His romantic tales about the area drew the rich and famous and the village became known as the Village of Millionaires and a playground for the rich when the pastime of sea-bathing came into fashion. Visitors included Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill.
Nowadays Overstand takes the form of a quiet holiday resort offering excellent
sandy beaches, village stores, a post office, restaurant and public
house. Nearby is Cromer, where you will find a golf course, cinema,
museum, tennis courts, pitch and putt and the famous end of
pier show at Cromer Pier.
