Cromer

Cromer is located on the North Norfolk coast and is within a few miles of Sheringham. It was at one-time a fashionable seaside resort and still remains a popular spot for many holiday-makers, particularly during the summer months. The town, which is known as the Gem of the Norfolk Coast, retains many of its Victorian features and has a long sandy beach.

Visitor Attractions - Cromer's beach is backed by an attractive Victioran promenade and includes a handsome 19th century pier, which still plays host to a traditional end-of-pier show during the summer.
The town itself is dominated by the Church of St Peter and St Paul. Located in the centre of town, the church boasts the tallest tower in the country and large stained glass windows.

Cromer Museum, which is housed in a Victorian Fisherman's cottage, features a large collection of photographs and paintings of the town. The museum also includes a Geology area which displays local fossils found on along the coast and surrounding region.
