48 HOURS IN CROMER

The charming coastal town of Cromer, in Norfolk, is especially renowned for its picturesque beauty and vibrant atmosphere.

Nestled on the North Norfolk coast, it offers visitors a classic British seaside experience, with its sandy beaches, historic pier and colourful beach huts. The resort is also famous for delicious Cromer Crab, and its elegant Victorian architecture and narrow streets give it a nostalgic air, while its lively markets and independent shops bring life to the town. Cromer has a rich maritime history and plenty of stunning coastal walks nearby, along with other popular holiday spots, such as Mundesley and Sheringham.
