Cromer

Cromer is probably best known for two things; crabs & lifeboats. Perched on a cliff above wide, sandy beaches it looks a calm sort of resort, but the offshore sandbank known as ‘Devil’s Throat’ makes conditions hazardous and has kept the local lifeguard station busy since 1804.

Medieval houses, crammed in around the 14th century Church of St. Peter & St. Paul in the Old Town hint at the Cromer’s early prosperity, which was earned through the port and crab trade.

While the New Town developed as a tourist resort, complete with a promenade, a pier and the Pavilion Theatre specialising in that unique genre the 'end of the pier show’. For a bracing stroll and great views try the cliff path to the lighthouse.
