A (first) visit to Cromer

Another seaside town we have visited is Cromer. It is north east of Norwich, again overlooking (literally, as you can see below) the North Sea and again on a relatively calm day. This visit was to take Belinda for a drive for a walk to a place she has not yet visited. The reason for not visiting is the "tired" and "crap" nature of the town - apparently. Not nearly as gaudy as Great Yarmouth and time fades all glory anyway!

So, first the view from the cliff-top promenade (this also forms part of the North Norfolk Path, Peddars Way and National trail - not all hard work!). Left is looking west, right to the east and the pier. Then a close up of the pier and view to the east beyond the pier.

 

 

A few glimpses of the architecture ... hard not to look tired this close to the North Sea, so I think the local critics are a little harsh. 

Immediately above the pier
 
 The front and rear of the same terraces
A well preserved terrace frontage

A local resident sunbathing
 And it would be fair to say the walk went well and Cromer was enjoyed!


Look close here for 3 birds




Cromer was pretty good!

  2. Glad you are enjoying the journey too. And the answer to your rhetorical question is an unequivocal "yes" ... because it is still in there :). Deb & Belinda have morning tea planned for the city this morning ... for two.
