A lively coastal town with iconic architecture and walks that begin right from the pier.
Cromer is a classic Norfolk seaside town, known for its grand Victorian pier, clifftop gardens, and crab boats hauled up on the beach. But beyond the prom and postcards, it’s also a brilliant base for walking — especially if you’re following the Norfolk Coast Path or exploring the wooded inland hills of north Norfolk.
To the east, the Coast Path climbs out of Cromer and continues along the cliffs to Overstrand, Mundesley, and eventually Sea Palling, with sweeping sea views the whole way. To the west, the path drops toward Sheringham and the heathland of Beeston Bump and Sheringham Park — offering some of the region’s most dramatic inland-and-coast combinations.
From Cromer, you can also walk into the wooded glens and valleys inland, or take shorter circular walks combining coast, town, and countryside in one.
From classic seaside B&Bs to comfortable basecamps for coastal walking.
These walks pass through or start from Cromer.
