Crabs.
Cromer crabs - known as a great North Norfolk delicacy

Crabs, the lifeboat, the end-of-the-pier summer show ... just some of the highlights of the delightful seaside town that is Cromer.

Formerly known as Shipden, the old village was washed away in medieval times and now lies about 400 metres offshore under the North Sea.

Church.
Church of St Peter and St Paul

The church of St Peter and St Paul was built in the 14th and 15th centuries and the tower, which stands some 160 feet high is the tallest in Norfolk.

It offers the physically fit one of the most spectacular views of the North Norfolk coastline.

Cromer's sea front is lined with unusual buildings and exotic turrets, all courtesy of the famous Dereham architect George Skipper.

pier.
Cromer Pier

In 1900 the pier and long promenade that stretches the length of Cromer were built, together with many of the towns hotels and guesthouses.

Cromer Pier which first opened in the summer of 1901 has a wonderful theatre, home to the country's only surviving end-of-the-pier show.

Also at the end of the 500 foot long pier is the lifeboat station, housing one of the latest and most modern self-righting boats.

Cromer lifeboat is probably best known for its brave and much-decorated coxswain Henry Blogg (1876 -1954). There is a stained glass window in the church to commemorate one of his most heroic rescues in 1933.

Cromer began life as a fishing town and it was the steam train and the Victorians' love of sea air which made Cromer a popular holiday destination.

Beach.

Today Cromer still retains much of it's original charm. Its long sandy beaches make it perfect to while away hot summer days and although fewer, Cromer's fishermen are still putting out for the famous crabs which are enjoyed both locally and around the country.
