Cromer
Cromer is a bustling holiday resort, situated on the Norfolk Coast. It was at one time a small fishing village known as Shipden, before the tourist boom of the 19th century took hold - eventually fishing was replaced by tourism as the town's main industry. Cromer cottages and self-catering accommodation can be found through the link provided below.
The town has a strong
Victorian heritage which is evident in its narrow, winding streets. It became a fashionable destination for holiday-goers during the late 1800s after an extended period of growth - the affluent also considered it an ideal place to establish their holiday homes and many of these are still present along the coastline.
Some of the main attractions found in and around Cromer include a Zoo, a boating lake, a blue flag beach and a selection of scenic coastal paths and trails. These trails lead to nearby towns like Runton, as well as historical sites such as Beacon Hill's Roman Camp.
Cromer Pier with its
Pavilion Theatre is another focal point and hosts concerts throughout the year. It's one of the oldest of its kind in England and dates back to 1391.
Cromer's strong reputation for
crab fishing is still evident - the fishermen can often be seen on the eastern end of the beach preparing their baits. The alleys and streets towards the centre of town are also reminiscent of bygone times and contribute to the overall picture-postcard ambience.
