Located at the northeast tip of Norfolk’s beautiful coast, Cromer was once known as being a playground for the affluent Victorian beach-goers back in the day.
The region offers a beautiful mix of old school charm of an ancient fishing town, with the hustle and bustle of a modern seaside resort.
The Little Beach Bell Company described Cromer as having “the perfect blend of British seaside town with the wonderful pier, good beaches, push-penny arcades and some of the best chippies in Norfolk.”
The seaside town even caught the attention of British writer and physician, Arthur Conan Doyle, with Cromer rumoured to have been an inspiration for some of his most notorious detective novels.
The true jewel in Cromer’s crown is found at its bustling Victorian 151 metre-long pier offering splendid views of the North Norfolk coastline and the North Sea and is a popular hot spot for a number of reasons.

Piers aside, Cromer is a seaside gem with a great community spirit at its core.
