Bramble Court can be seen in the foreground. In the distance are All Saints church (at right) > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/967818 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/967827 and Trafalgar Court (at left) > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/527300 - both on Cromer Road. Trafalgar Court is located in the adjacent grid square. When the railway opened in 1889 - bringing visitors wishing to sample the fresh sea air - the village of Mundesley grew rapidly. The railway is now long gone but Mundesley is still considered to be one of the best a holiday resorts in Norfolk, offering a sandy beach with safe swimming for children when the tide is out; the East Norfolk Coast Path/Peddars Way follows the coastline and offers splendid views across the North Sea. Properties date mainly from Victorian times and many houses are constructed from traditional Norfolk materials such as flint and brick, with thatch or pantile roofs. The village contains a small number of shops, eating places, pubs, tea rooms and possibly the smallest museum in the country, the Maritime Museum > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/204932. Several holiday parks are in the vicinity of the village, the largest one being Mundesley Holiday Village, located a short distance to the southeast.

The modern lifeboat station. It is an independent lifeboat,not funded by the RNLI. The money to build a new boathouse was raised mainly through a charity shop in the village (this information was provided by the Chair of The Friends of MILB).

Dist:0.2km<br/>As a result of a drowning and near drowning in 1971 of a man and his wife half a mile off the beach at Mundesley, the Mundesley Parish Council called a meeting to discuss the feasibility of establishing an Inshore Lifeboat at Mundesley. It was decided to set up an independent rescue unit, funded and manned from within the village. In the spring of 1972, a Zodiac inflatable was borrowed from a local businessman and established in a temporary boathouse on the promenade at the east end of the village, followed by the purchase of a 4M Avon Sea Rider semi- rigid inflatable wholly owned by the Service. A wooden site hut was donated by a Bacton Gas Site contractor and converted into a boathouse. The boat is on call 365 days per year, 24 hours a day. Training is undertaken all year round on a regular basis and the crew are on duty every Sunday and Bank Holiday during the summer. The new state of the art station, funded entirely by donations received by the public, was built in 2006 by Blyth's and Sons from Sheringham. The station consists of a boat hall, a drying room holding all of the crew's personal protection equipment such as Polar Bear drysuits, Gecko helmets and Crewsaver lifejackets. Upstairs consists of four main rooms. The lookout is situated so that almost the whole of the Mundesley guard is visible. It has charts and two vhf radios for constant communications with the boat. There are also a crew training room, a galley/kitchen area and the Coxswains' office. http://www.mundesleylifeboat.co.uk/Aboutus.html
