Cromer
As soon as the railway connected Cromer to London in the late 19th century the area quickly became popular with tourists trying to escape the city and this is still true today. Although tourism is important to the town it hasn’t spoilt it and the town still has the feels of the quite fishing town which first brought tourists flocking. In fact, there are still some working fishermen in the town, although the main catch is now crab and lobster which can be bought fresh on the coast road or in one of Cromer’s many restaurants.
A promenade runs along Cromer’s beach, which is longer than the town itself and is an excellent sandy beach (no dogs allowed except in off-season). The pier is home to a theatre and the lifeboat station, which has a museum nearby. The town itself looks down on the beach from its seat on the cliff, and has some impressive Edwardian buildings, many are now shops aimed at the tourists.
