Why You SHOULD Visit Cromer - North Norfolk
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- Join me as we take a walk around Cromer in North Norfolk & explore the famous Cromer Pier, Theatre, Hotel De Paris, The town and try a famous Cromer Bun? & of course the famous Cromer Crab. Cromer is a traditional seaside resort and is famous for Banksy's Great British Spraycation artwork, Cromer Pier, which is home to a lifeboat station and Pavilion Theatre, where the UK’s only remaining traditional end of the pier variety show takes place each Summer and Winter. The pier is an enduring example of Victorian architecture, having withstood many storms, tidal surges and even an attempt to blow it up by the Government in WW2 to prevent the pier being used as a landing strip for enemy invaders!

As a person who lives in Cromer myself it’s a wonderful place to live I love living here ❤️Cromer has amazing places!
Agree
My father and I always stay in Norfolk for Christmas and we seem to end up in Cromer on Christmas Eve for a long walk, a trip to the cinema and a meal. It looks beautiful in Summer. I live abroad, so your videos are comforting. I sometimes come back and rewatch. Love your channel.
Thanks Lynne
Just discovered your channel and all your videos are amazing man! I'm a Brit currently studying in Canada and these seaside tours really help with my home sickness, they're very relaxing. Keep up the awesome work!
thanks will .. means a lot
I grew up in Cromer and learnt more about it today than I did in 15 years. What an enjoyable experience. Thank you.
Just a wonderful job Tim. It is so pretty there . The views are gorgeous. Always love a look at the piers everywhere you go. Just a beautiful place and you captured it Tim . Thanks for a really nice walk today. ☀️👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Melissa , thank you
Cor blimey. This takes me back. I'm only 21 but I used to go on holiday to Norfolk from Yorkshire every other year with my family when I was younger! Cromer, Sheringham, Weybourne. The whole coastline is fantastic. It will always have a special place in my heart.
Great Video Tim,
Yes, please do a critique of the Red Lion at Cromer. I had a great weekend there pre-covid. I had the best room there, about £135, but well worth it. I had the private balcony you mentioned, and the little turret was part of the massive bathroom which had a window seat in the turret with a view of the sea, a freestanding bath, and a shower big enough for two. The bedroom had a lounge area with a big TV and a smaller TV by the bed.
The downstairs bar was very atmospheric, with a great crowd of locals and a massive choice of great ales (I belong to CAMRA). The bar and hotel were very dog-friendly, but I love that. Don't miss the great parish church, which could almost be a cathedral.
In May this year I went to Potters at Hopton and I have to say (like you did in your review) it was pretty faultless.
Happy New Year Tim,
Stuart
You certainly have got to give it to the Victorians Tim, they made everything beautiful & grand!
What a gem of a video, thoroughly enjoyed the peek into The Hotel De Paris, I remember seeing that Hotel from the outside & wondering what it was like inside, truly magnificent & it's been there since 1799 & still looks in fine fettle!
I think I've been in the Cafe at the end of Cromer Pier near the Theatre, I'd never seen the Theatre inside tho. Remember clearly watching the Sunset on that side of the Pier, in fact the pier hasn't changed at all since I was there over 20 years ago.
I've never known anyone go walking under the Piers Tim.
It's scary but fascinating as you say to see the way they were made, you can't really appreciate that from walking above.
The drawing by Banksy was a puzzle, didn't know what that was about.
Banksy did a picture in Camden, London as a tribute to Amy Winehouse too.
I think I climbed down those stairs down to the Beach over 20 years ago when I was able!
Really enjoyed this blog of Cromer felt like day ja viu having been there before!
The sky is beautiful blue, nice for a seaside. Love Cromer.
Norfolk Sky's are the best lol
Tim loves going under a pier and a haunted attraction so imagine his delight when he found this haunted pier 😂
lol
Tim sorry I missed your Q&A. Ready for today 👍😊
yay! ;-)
My hometown again lol. Be interesting to see what u done
:-)
Can’t believe they’ve taken the cover off the Banksey, they need to preserve that!!!
I don't know who did
@@WalkWithMeTim surely it’s worth hundreds of thousands even in that state it’s in now, and a great tourist attraction. I walked for ages to find it and will do next time I return! Great vid by the way. Can’t wait to go back!
Fantastic Cromer walk Tim loved all the airiel views,stunning, looks very nice place to visit, see you next time thank you,hi to Gaby and Casper x
Thanks Hazel
Born and bred in Norfolk, moved to Cromer about a year ago. Without a doubt the best place I’ve lived in Norfolk, incredible place to be. Shame the Banksy has been scratched away even more since your visit.
My parents retired to Sheringham in 80s and lived there for over 25 very happy years great place to visit North Norfolk with Seals at Blakeney and lots to see and do..
It's a great place
If you wanna see some rusty old tractors. Go to Redcar. There are loads down the seafront. Enjoyed the video as always , keep up the good work.
Thanks Andy
@@WalkWithMeTim No problem...thanx for the reply.
Tim, we were in Cromer earlier this year. Absolutely love the place. Heartily recommend Mary Janes fish and chips. We had the haddock. Out of this world. We caught the End of the Pier Show on a rainy afternoon. Really entertaining and surprisingly professional. Great video. Thanks 👍
my 5 year old watches all the time shes obsessed with you mate
Especially when you show kids rides and stuff shes got me into your channel. Thanks tim.
Wow really lol my 16year old ain't bothered lol

Really enjoyed the memories of Cromer Tim & having a peek inside the Hotel De Paris!

Visited Cromer August 2022. Hot humid week. Very good peir and on the day we visited there was a fantastic large steel drum group playing.
An excellent snapshot of a beautiful and special part of the world, well done Tim keep them coming.
Thanks Tim for another lovely video. We love Cromer and it’s so nice to see it on such a lovely day. Hoping to be there in May so will try the Cromer Bun at that coffee shop 😀

Spent a week in Cromer near to light house. Excellent beach and town.

Thanks Trevor
Great videos, Tim. American here that studied in London for a few years. I’m currently trying to get back and your videos bring me fond memories of my weekend excursions which keeps me working harder to get back.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks chris
I met an American with a Golden Retriever on Cromer Pier years ago. I was wearing a navy and orange Lambretta jacket and he asked whether I was Italian. I told him I was Welsh.
@@basylpeterjones sounds like an American 😂
Cromer is beautiful in the summer and it's different from other parts of Norfolk.
(Stunning views great sunset🌅).
Totally agree!
Staging two concerts there this summer in the main church!
nice!
Tim might attend lol
Great Vid Tim Cromer looking nice in the sunshine
thanks ross
Nice Tim, interesting. Amazing place.
Glad you enjoyed it
Tremendous video Tim loved it.👍🎖
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello Tim I enjoy your videos I visited Cromer last Saturday and the place is stunning had a paddle in the sea and walked down the pier the views were stunning and had a walk around the town looked in the shops it's an amazing place on a wonderful coastline
Coffee Therapy do a cracking flat white! So glad you gave them a mention on this vid as they're well worth a visit.
Hey Tim great vlog and walk mate cheers ..,. Question for you are you doing any more hotel reviews please... That hotel u walking round I been in it wonderful place💯😊
Yes I am! tommorow
I have fond memories of Cromer and the crabs ❤ definitely will visit again!
What a great video! The drone footage was fantastic!
I was in Cromer with my family about 6 years ago at Easter time. I’d love to go back. (We stayed near one of the old railway lines and it was right next to Norfolk’s only main line railway tunnel!)
Thank you
The waves here are amazing in summer
Could u imagine living next to that chips shop, my life expectancy would diminish rapidly.
Mine too
Chips extend your life according to science.
Enjoyable Tim, as always!!! Judith Chalmers has nothing on Tim!! Thank you X
LOL Many thanks!
Beautiful coverage 💖🥰
Thank you!!
This place is totally magical! 🧜♂🧚♂🐬🐠🐟🦀🦞🦐 🌟⭐🌠
I've always found Cromer to be a colourful, vibrant seaside town. The Hotel Paris... Wow! It might not be in Paris, but the interior is near-as-dammit. There's so much history connected to the place to... It's not all about crabs. 😄
On another note... Will you ever visit the Isle of Wight? Sandown is beautiful, as well as Needles Bay and Cowes. Cheers for such a great video! 👌
I'll get round to doing it soon 😃
Grew up in East Runton just up the road and went to Cromer elementary school. Best crabs in the world.
Yes agree
Me too. Grew up in East Runton. Went to Cromer Secondary school. Dad still lives in East Runton.
You have done it again. I had no idea
Done what?
@@WalkWithMeTim you have surpised me once again. My childhood was always 2 weeks in weymouth. I had no idea there were so many gems out there xxxx
Hi Tim, what a lovely place. Love the gardens and the pier. I could spend many happy hours in that gorgeous little bookshop. Thanks so much for taking us there. Lovely video as usual. Hope you can enjoy lovely warm weather for your spring season. I think, here in eastern Australia, we've had the wettest summer and into autumn ever. Maybe our lovely weather is having a holiday in Britain this year..........
lets hope for a good summer
Summer 1980 i was there and Sheringham, was supposed to be a horse riding holiday, but my friend came off a hill a bit fast knocking me over and sprained my ankle, so i ended up in a and e wherever that was. Some teenage mods next to us got their tent flooded with the constant rain. So one day i shall return and hope its a better trip
Beautiful day for a walk on the Pier. Thanks Tim! The rest areas going down the sloped walkway to the shore are nice. It was a good live chat with you, Gabby and Casper! Congratulations on 50K subscribers! 🎉🎈 I hope Casper is enjoying the Thumper stuffed animal I sent.
Greetings from Pennsylvania in the US.
Yes it was! im sure we also said thanks on the LIVE he loves it altho not sure what it is lol
@@WalkWithMeTim Thanks for the response Tim! You did thank me for the toy. I was just checking if Casper likes it. It's the Thumper rabbit character from Disney's animated movie Bambi. Since at one point you called Casper Thumper I thought it would be perfect for him.
Enjoy your Spring. It's been overcast and rainy where I am today so your sunny seaside pier tour was great to see! 😀
I grew up in and around Cromer and I never heard it called the Hotel de Paris or Hotel de Parees. It was always the French pronunciation, Hotel de Paree.
Beautiful timeless Cromer. Film fact: the pier was used for Danny La Rue's only film role in 'Our Miss Fred'.
and in many others
Looks a nice place Cromer haven't been there before coming down to Norwich in May
You should visit
Great vid again mate....the Sheringham one next ..lol...♥️👍💪
thats already on the channel ;-)
Another great video - I love Cromer and you always find something new that I didn’t know about 😀
me too ;-)
what a great place been going there since 1963. You never went to the light house on top of the hill and never mentioned the cromer country club which is also a great place to stay
you are correct I didn't lol
Infront of Cromer now lost to the sea was a town called Shipden. Once upon a time you could hear the towns church bell ringing out under water at low tide from the beach. Eventually it was blown up I believe due to being a danger to boats with it's close proximity to the surface. Cromer has a fascinating and rich (literally) history. Once a favourite holiday destination of Royalty. The No1 chippy in Cromer used to be on the council estate right out of town it was always award winning back in the day. Off there tomorrow will see if it still is 🤤. It will never be the same without Shrimp Davies. Another point of interest all the green looking domes on top of some of the buildings is actually copper when built they looked golden. There used to be a zoo with Elephants and tigers. The railway used to go from Wolverton the Royal station for Sandringham (still there the station I think) to Cromer and the Royal residence in Cromer. There's still a viaduct in Cromer from the old M&GN railway.
My grandparents live here
Absolutely love Cromer, need to get back there one day, been to the Christmas shows on the pier multiple times and I'm not even kidding when I say this but the main comedian is called Olly Day = Holiday and he's a wonderful guy. Stayed at Seacroft campsite many of times and stayed in the club house until early hours of the morning playing pool and the air hockey. Wonderful time. The swimming pool is always warm as well 👍.
its my fav place
I worked at the Hotel de Paris in the early 80’s and they filmed an episode of Tales of the Unexpected there!
I’ve been to Cromer. I like Cromer a lot.
Me too
😁
Wow… very ironic, I was in Cromer for work but travelled on Sunday 6th March for a meeting on the Monday as it was a 4 hour journey for me from Worcestershire. I was only thinking earlier what a great place it was and how I thoroughly enjoyed my short time there. I stayed in the Sandcliff hotel which was pleasant and had food of the evening in Lily - Mia’s which was nice. I had a great walk along the beach on the Monday morning before work and this is a place I really felt at home in. Just ironic how this has come up on my TH-cam feed as a recommended video for me! Great video Tim, I shall be subscribing to the channel. All the best … Smithy
Thanks smithy, means a lot .. Cromer is a great place
Tim. No matter how many times you do Crommer there is always something new to discover. I love it. Just oneproblem I have always want to move to Penzance in Cornwall now I am torn between Crommer and Penzance. HELP.
lol well thats a tough one
The steps were always just called the white steps by eevryone throughout my childhood living in cormer, not very imaginative thinking back
Tim the man you need to look at Forest Park it's beautiful !
I will
And East Runton Wills place for fish and chips their lush!
Lovely video
Thanks 🤗
Tim, you should probably mention Mary Jane's chip shop as being a delicious place to eat in Cromer. They were the number one chip shop in Cromer before 'Number One' stole their thunder!! Either way they are both superb (and i'm an expert on these matters!🤣).
Oui oui to de Paris Tim !!
The most depressing thing about these seaside towns is you walk down these pretty streets and see what were peoples homes with key safes next to the door - air-b-n-b etc has decimated places where folk actually live and pushed housing out of peoples reach
yes I know
Great video Tim , when are you gonna visit Scotland and Jersey Channel islands? 👍
Hopefully soon
I had to dash off during the premiere last night, flouncing out like some z list actress who didn't win an Oscar lol ok not so dramatic, actually popped out to get some food for dinner, but im back and going to watch lovely cromer from start to end 😃
yay! thanks Alexandra
Cromer is my favourite place on earth
mine too
Great Vid Tim croma looking really nice in the sunshine
agree
Crab and samphire season coming up!
indeed
love cromer go there multiple times a year
same
Few years back camping at Manor Farm Cromer, sat stretched out in a camping chair A plane came over from behind the hill red and white followed by six others, yes it was the Red Arrows they swooped down the cliffs and over the sea and went into the full routine, smoke and all my family and I had the best view you can imagine sat in comfort with a mug of tea! Super Holiday and camp site
nice! it good they do that in the summer
Vaguely remember as a kid getting a minibus to Cromer and staying at pontins hemsby would have been about 6 and peters and Lee were playing 😂
hopefully will bring back some memories
👍👍👍😎
respect to the H
Hi hi Hman or heman I call him
Not been to Cromer since 1990, walking down the pebble beach drinking mead. You can apparently find amber on the beach, you could buy bits of it from the shops. What I DO remember was everywhere shut at 8pm.
lol
Why don't they pedestrians the town centre ? Would make it even more of a pleasure .
Any recommendations on hotels on Cromer I might be planning to go in the spring
Hotel de paris
Looks great sea town place to visit nice pier walk down
I love it here
Hi, are there any seaside towns with funfairs in Norfolk? Thanks from Auckland NZ.
Yes loads
Brilliant channel, I must say. I like your style of presentation and it's fun to learn about all these funny little places! You might want to stay in the Prince William Hotel in Paddington, if it's still there! It was awful - bedding not changed, interconnecting doors between rooms allowed all the noise in, window wouldn't close, shower gel like toilet cleaner, tv didn't work, bedbugs, stale bread, cheap margerine and powdered "creamer" 2 years out of date........awful place!
Thanks, will do!
Visited Cromer this year for the first time. Lovely place but not Many eateries dog friendly
👍👍
😃
👍
I’d recommend you do not go to no.1 my mate worked there and a sewer bust one time the workers was forced to cook in all the fecies and didn’t close the shop
🤔
Camerawork made me seasick
its on a gimbal
watch out for the goats 🤣
Lol
@@WalkWithMeTim too late you mentioned them 😂 theres a little tea room that does crab been there a couple of time . a nice place cromer
