Cromer
If you drive down the long steep hill on the Norwich Road heading towards Cromer, there is a point at which there is a sudden glimpse of the Sea and the road sign announces, Cromer, Gem of the Norfolk Coast. As you proceed into the Victorian Town with its many attractive shops and Cafes you can see why this Town attracts visitors all year round.
As well as relaxing on the vast sandy beach, people visit Cromer to enjoy walking, surfing, cycling, birdwatching and of course to enjoy the taste of the famous Cromer crabs.

Transport connections
The railway came to Cromer in 1877 with the opening of Cromer High railway station by the Great Eastern Railway. Ten years later a second station, Cromer Beach, was opened by the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway bringing visitors from the East Midlands. The second station, now known simply as Cromer, remains. Direct services were operated from London, Manchester, Leicester, Birmingham, Leeds, Peterborough and Sheffield, but today a service between Norwich and Sheringham on the Bittern Line is all that remains.
