Cromer and Sheringham

The pretty seaside towns of Cromer and Sheringham are situated on the beautiful North Norfolk coast, just a few miles from one another.

Attractions

With gorgeous stretches of soft sandy beach, little streets filled with interesting shops and plenty of places to enjoy the excellent food including the famous Cromer crab, both are excellent for day visits, weekend breaks or family holidays.

In Cromer visit the traditional seaside theatre by the Pier, fly a kite on the clifftops or head to South America with the animals of AmazonaZoo.

Go hunting for sea creatures in rock pools at Sheringham or let the children loose at the indoor tropical swimming pool. Alternatively, visit Sheringham Park's mature woodlands for great coastal views.

Out and about

Holkham is noted for one of Britain's best sandy beaches - huge, private, with dunes backed by pine trees. East and West Runton has quiet sand/shingle beaches backed by low crumbling cliffs (rich in fossils). Mundesley is a clifftop village harking back to a bygone age, with its sandy beach and colourful wooden beach huts. Whilst Sea Palling is a dune-backed stretch of white sand protected by man-made reefs.
