Between East and West Runton, Norfolk
Incleborough Hill rises on the south side of the coast road between East and West Runton. Its open high ground offers a change from the shoreline, and the local bird club identifies it as a place to watch migrating birds of prey. A quiet walk can also turn up birds using scrub and trees: the club’s lists include Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Chaffinch and Sparrowhawk. This is a landscape outing with broad views rather than a circuit of hides. Allow time for the climb, listen around the path edges and keep to the public routes across the hill.
