We took the train to this charming north Norfolk town (I don't think I had ever been, despite being brought up in Norfolk) intending to spend the day there. As it was, we had completed all we needed to do in a couple of hours!
There really is not much here- you have one main street that contains a variety of shops, a large church and a cute museum. We took a cursory look at the latter two but didn't linger. Many years ago, a friend of mine spent a week honeymooning in Cromer. All I can say is, I hope her and her new husband were very compatible in the, ahem, carnal area, as there didn't look like much else to do. Mind you, that's the whole point of a honeymoon, isn't it?!
But I couldn't say that I didn't have a wonderful time. I did exactly what I came to do, which was see the interestingly shaped pier and eat a Cromer crab sandwich. Cromer is famous for its crabbing industry, I hadn't eaten proper, dressed crab since I was a little girl and my delicious meal (actually breakfast!) did not disappoint.
Here is the full length of the pier...
Looking down from the pier entrance. I believe it's the only pier with an end of pier theatre in the world, and acts are showcased here every summer and Christmas.
Looking back to the headland...

A PDF of the Jetty Cafe (silly me didn't take a piccie!), where I ate my crab 'breakfast'.... It gets good reviews and I can understand why.
Finally, I had to have a charity shop find. This twisty bracelet cost me all of £1.50!
Would I return? Not in a hurry, but I wouldn't rule it out.
