A small village on the North Norfolk coast between Mundesley and Happisburgh (pronounced Hazeboro). The name derives from the Celtic word Walecote, which means village by the wood.
Its main claim to fame is being the only point where the B1159 (the coast road) actually runs along the edge of the sea. This makes it a popular stopping off point for day-trippers and storm watchers.
The area suffered greatly in the North Sea Flood of 1953 and much of the village was lost to the sea along with neighbouring Keswick.
