MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Cromer... hmmm. A bit bracing this time of year, so probably perfect if you want to be really chilled There's a nice pier, a few crab boats, not so much dog shit these days, and the Norfolk coast is lovely if you're into birdwatching, marshes & mudflats. The best bit of coastline is between Cromer & Hunstanton, but you'll also be in easy reach of Norwich, which is quite pleasant as towns go... I suppose... not been there for a while. Hope you enjoy your trip to Norfolk - the natives can be a bit weird out of season, but Cromer is almost civilised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilko 1 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 stayed in norfolk for a week last year hired a little holiday home in hemsby tiny little old fashiond resort . in my weeks stay tried to go to as many places as poss. great yarmath. boating on the broards all the little villages around our amedeat area very nice. just had to go to croamer for my love of sea food .an croamer crabs are the daddys. very strange old victorian town set high up overlooking the sea witch is the clearest see ive seen in england allmost med looking .nice for a day out .but no more than that . i was gutted as when i got there all the crab shops were closed. ended up getting my cromer crab from a pukka little indoor type market in grt/yarmouth. an lovley they were too. i think all seaside resorts are woth a day out whatever part of the british coast .........

Hollie 21 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 im from norfolk and try out these slightly nicer places with less chavs: Blakney Wells Cley Basically anything north norfolk I agree but maybe thats because i live here. personally i HATE cromer, nice beach but as seaside towns go it isn't a 'nice' one, Sheringham is much nicer and even further round the coast is a lovely part of Norfolk, Blakney/Cley are really nice places. Have a good time whatever you do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
