Cromer is a beautiful, coastal town, which is situated on the scenic north Norfolk coast and features high cliffs overlooking sandy beaches, caressed by blue sea and a town centre brimming with history that dates back to the Victorian era.

Cromer achieved resort status in the early 19th century thanks to rich banking families making it the place to own second homes for the summer months.
