- CROMER | Is Cromer in North Norfolk the perfect seaside holiday town?
We walk through Cromer Town Centre and down to beach and Cromer pier to see what this popular tourist destination has to offer.
When we last visited Cromer on the Gimbal Walk TV Travel and Tourism channel we only did a short walk so I wanted to return to the Town Centre and the seafront to do a full tour of the streets, hotels, shops, beach, pier and sea to see what Cromer really has to offer tourists and holidaymakers.
People come from all over England and beyond to visit Cromer. It's easy to see why with the historic Cromer Pier, the sandy beaches, the long promenade and esplanade and the beautiful town centre.
Dominating the skyline here is the Hotel De Paris which overlooks the seafront and looks down on the famous Cromer Pier.
Famous for Cromer Crab and Crab fishing, Cromer has been a holiday and seaside town for centuries, attracting tourism and people coming for their holiday for many years.
We begin our Cromer Tour up on the clifftop on Runton Road, walking down to the Town Centre. We head into the town via New Street passing Leisureland Amusement Arcade and along to Jetty Cliff and High Street.
On this walking tour we take in all the famous landmarks including the Parish Church, Cromer Esplanade, the fishing boats and the colourful beach huts as well as Cromer Pier itself.
Further down we pass the lifeboat cafe and the RNLI Henry Blogg Museum which tells the story of decorated RNLI volunteer Henry Blogg.
We take time to admire the Hotel De Paris which is a stunning and imposing looking hotel.
For the perfect seaside day out or holiday visit Cromer, Norfolk. Just four miles east of Sheringham it's a delightful and beautiful seaside town.
Cromer is a coastal town and civil parish on the north coast of the English county of Norfolk. It is 23 miles north of Norwich, 116 miles north-northeast of London and four miles east of Sheringham on the North Sea coastline.
Cromer Beach is vast and you'll never run out of space to find to enjoy making sandcastles, catching crabs, paddling in the sea and more.
If you want to fish for crabs you can do some crab fishing from Cromer Pier too!

Lived in Cromer for eleven glorious years. It isn't always as sunny as this😂😂.Really good video. We still go back when we can and have a lot of friends still there. If you're considering going, do it. It is as beautiful as this video makes out- possibly more so!
Cromer is beautiful! ❤
Spent many summers on the North Norfolk coast as a kid visiting my Grandparents who lived in Wells next the sea which is still a lovely unspoilt part of the world. Cromer is a lovely place and Hunstanton too. Thanks for the video for bringing back such happy memories.
I like Cromer, it’s very nice
It is!
I used to go to Cromer all the time when I was little and I’m so excited too go again soon 😊
We went to Cromer just once but it was a cold day at the end of the season. Can't wait till the summer & we can go again while in the area. Just love seeing the seaside streets with their bunting. Going to get some Cromer Crab this time !
Oh yes I agree the bunting should stay up at our seasides - it looks fab
Never been to Tenby but LOVE IT NOW thank you so much we love your channels.
Another great video, really enjoy
Thankyou.
Grew up in Cromer for the first 15 years of my life, not much better ways I can think to have grown up in my opinion. Lovely cliffside/beaches, plenty of parks/leisure spots and something was always going on in the town (especially Summer time!). Currently a happy resident of Norwich but I will always cherish and appreciate how lucky I had it to have grown up in that fine seaside town.
Quintessentially British seaside town. Particularly enjoyed that soothing sound of the surf. Stuck in central Canada on a rainy day, this me realize that I’ve not been anywhere near the sea and the sea air in the UK for quite some years. Unusual absence of lifebuoys on the pier. Thanks.
The best thing about Cromer is the small second hand bookshop near the front. And of course the pier.
Lovely place isn’t it!
It was nice to see Cromer again,
Love Cromer. In 1973 I delivered ice cream there for Walls. One of the first places my first wife and I visited. Then had honeymoon there with 2nd wife!
Hidden gem❤️
Definitely
Enjoys the walk with you around Cromer . .love the walk seeing all the small door to the homes .and the shops selling bright coloured bucket and spades. And the black birds singing at the beginning. Nice sunny day .as we watch your video from a cold and wet day in Australia that you
one of the best vids ive ever seen ,been out there about 40 times ,wonderful ,liked the mundesley vid too ,beautiful xxxx
Thank you
This is a very lovely place. My grandparents loved Cromer and Sheringham as well ! xx
Never heard of Seahouses now it a wonderful place I must visit, THANK YOU Neil for bringing all these wonderful seaside places for us see, you and your famous white trainers are FANTASTIC!! ❤
Thank you!
Seahouses is great
ITS NICE AND BEAUTIFULL COMBINATION OF SEA AND PUBLIC PLACE. WOW
Wow just watched this one, I love Norfolk but I've never been to Cromer, I will have to go, the tractors on the beach, Ive never seen as many. Thanks again Neil.
Such a lovely seaside resort.
True!
Such a great tour Thank you
Thank you too!
@@GimbalWalkTV Cromer looks really nice
Cromer is lovely but some might find it a bit "sleepy", I'd say Great Yarmouth is Norfolk's premier seaside town!
The tractors! Love seeing them on the beach. I think if you take the main Cromer road on a Sunday morning, you'll see the Sunday bus service, which comprises of a few tractors & trailers with old dears riding on them on their way to church 😃
Great video Cromer Sheringham and Mundesley and the Runtons all special peaceful places in North Norfolk.
Always a treat to visit
Couldn't agree more!
Hey mate looks great there and great vlog and walk too wonderful 💯😊
Thank you so much 👍
Congratulations on the 35K Subs, a well deserved achievement with quality videos such as this!
Thank you so much 😀
Another gem, I loved the video, and great that you ventured right down to the sea, I could almost smell the sea air. . Congratulations on reaching 35,00 subscribers👍
Thank you so much Rita!
Absolutely loved this video
Never visited but feel almost like I have now
Thank you
Thank you so much Julie!
Loved this, :)
Thank you ❤️
I recall many years ago holidaying in Scarborough with a few mates and the weather was great - in the low 70's all week. Each morning we would take a quick peek at the weather forecast in a paper in the local newsagents and one thing we noticed was that Cromer each and every day of that week had temperatures in the mid 50's Fahrenheit and a sea fret. The rest of the country was basking in quite lovely weather whilst the poor sods holidaying in Cromer were huddled in their cagoules.
A great & fantastic video of Cromer hoping to go with my brothers nest week!.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have fun!
Great place 2 visit 👍👍
It really is!
A very nice video - it is clean and has many beautiful buildings.
Also congrats on reaching "35000."
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for a beautiful extensive video on what is the most favourite seaside town of ours, we live not too far away and visit often.
Originally from South Yorkshire but now living in lovely rural Norfolk we can vouch that your walks around this beautiful county will be very satisfying, there are the most gorgeous villages and towns here, you should try Holt, it's fabulous.
Thank you so much
And thanks for the suggestion of Holt - will definitely be filming there now!
@@GimbalWalkTV Great stuff, you'll love it. Thanks for the great videos.
love cromer often have a few hours there in the summer hopefully have a day out in the summer love the town
It’s lovely isn’t it
Love this ,been traveling up on and off from Essex over 30 years with the lads on cricket tour then my wife and now my family always something different to do I love the beach walk from Cromer to overstrand I’ll be up in aughast 😎
Or even August 😁
@@jackblue4078 Don’t let it worry you lad.
I live just down the road from Cromer, it 's nicer off season when all the grokkles have gone home!
🤣
I need to find out what a Grokkle is now!
@@GimbalWalkTV, grokkle those that do not grokk or understand/apreciate what they are looking at, or how to behave in their given situation. Originally coined by the sci fi author Robert Heinlen, in his book "Stranger in a strange land". 👍
I remember going here for a weeks holiday , don't remember the guest house me , my parents and sister stopped in
Such a clean town. Splendid. I would love to come and stay at the Hotel de Paris for a few days and then a little B&B for a week or so. #bucketlist
Oh yes - imagine the sea views!
Never been to Norfolk but my mum grew up there in Diss, looks lo lovely 😀👍
Yes it's a really lovely part of the UK!
We booked to stay in Sheringham before covid, looks beautiful, the whole area cromer and coastal paths. One day we'll get there
Sheringham on the way on the channel this week too!
Cromer’s great! You have to go a long way to find somewhere nicer!
Well 5 miles or so anyway.
Sheringham.
Sheringham on the way this week - stay tuned!
As a Norfolk resident I still enjoy Cromer, as it hasn`t been completely overtaken by seaside tat yet, but I fear this is only a matter of time. For a quick visit, I prefer Wells simply because there is more elbow room. As always, it is horses for courses.
Thanks Alan - will give Wells a go - not been there yet
The distance keeps most of that away. Skegness has direct trains from Nottingham, say no more. Cromer is worth it when you get there, especially if you get hotel. The lack of cheap chain hotels also helps. Lol I always go for the cheap chain hotels for the benefit of economy which means I have to ride over from Kings Lynn. I like variety though so I'll do Hunstanton, Brancaster, Wells, Sheringham on the coastal B-road. Cromer is also good as Sheringham is just 10 minutes up the road.
The new trains in East anglia are really good, if you want to relax & have a drink on the way
👍. If like me you book in advance then it's good to have the option of trains if it decides to rain all week.
Love that place, we live in Cambridge and often visit , a suggestion for another walk would be Llangollen ,very very nice. Love your walks ,keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Billy - Have added Llandollen to the list and going to look it up now!
Looks like a lovely clean, well cared for place! I particularly liked the Union Jack lamps. I’m sure they looked great lit up at night!
They are!
Cromer is great, Sheringham is my fave.
Sheringham video on the way too!
when we were parked on the hill many years ago we got swamped by thousands of ladybirds
Used to love coming here as a kid with my Grandparents
they used to have a great punch and judy near the seafront and the rides im talking late 70s early 80s when I came here with my grandparents so many good memories
Lovely stuff - bet the Punch and Judy was good fun!
@@GimbalWalkTV its was lol I would recommend Sheringham as well that is not to far from Cromer
@@apems4676 oh yes I have a few Sheringham ones filmed and on the way
👍💜
Another beautiful town, Norfolk is full of places like this! 👍👍
I need to explore more of them I think!
@@GimbalWalkTV well worth it
Try Holt if u haven't already!
was there the day before u filmed this some great entertainment for the jubilee all outside the church just love cromer all those lovely side street and finish the day off with fish and chips there was a 10 minute display by the spitfire also
Came here from Scotland about 30 years ago and never left, this is a wonderful place, busy and lots of fun in the summer, quiet and peaceful in the winter. as you can see from video, we all love dogs lol. the large grass/heath banking running down to the beach at start and end of video is managed by a herd of goats, they very cute and do a great job. I love the lifestyle and the people here. Great video thank you
Cromer is a wonderful place, to sit and have a coffee on the pier is a great way to escape the mad world we live in.
Agreed - lovely !
What a beautiful little town. Love from Canada.
It’s fab isn’t it!
Looks great in the ☀️
Hi gimbal loving your walks has anybody ever stopped you and asked why u filming or asked not to film them or others
Not really no but I’m six foot three and built like a tank so they’d probably be too nervous!🤣
👍 👍
Thanks Theo
@@GimbalWalkTV 👏👏
Haven't been there since August 2020, the grandkids keep asking when we're going again. I used to holiday just up the road at Bacton in the early 60s and loved visiting Cromer. So many lovely little places in Norfolk.
also theres meant to be houses and a church out at sea when flooding happenend church bell smometimes rings under the sea
My home . You should come back on a winters day when only us yokels here . OTBC
Definitely will - love it there!
Do Hunstanton sometime. From the lifeboat station to main part please. Like the Cromer vid though. You did have to dodge some fast cars. Will always think of the final bit of the car chase in the Alan Partridge film on the pier.
ha ha yes! Funny film that in places isn't it!
@@GimbalWalkTV so is that ha ha yes to Sunny Hunny?
@@leebrewtea9339 It's a definite yes - soon as I can get there :)
First of all Neil congratulations on your 35,000 subscribers! Well done! I never heard of Cromer before, I wish I would've had a chance to visit this seaside town. I love the beach houses, the shops and of course the beach! The pebble area was very pretty. Did you get your white trainers wet? Thanks for introducing me to another delightful seaside holiday town! :)
Thank you so much!
Have a great week x
My fathers grandparents came from Norfolk.
Lovely - what a wonderful place Norfolk is
I live in cromer and it is lovely...there is a lift from town to the esplanade by the rocket cafe which is disability friendly
That's good - it's such a lovely place to be. I love it!
allwats wanted to know what cromer is like. would like a few days there cheers
Thank you it’s great
Cromer s blessed with a lovely pier and a FANTASTIC Fish & Chip shop - number one - always a que , always a good sign - was there in the lovely sunshine a couple of weeks back 😄😃😄
Lovely stuff - I can't wait to go back!
Lol..spotted the poster jimmy tarbuck on cromer pier...saw him in 1974 at scarborough....brilliant ,keep upthe good work
Always wanted to go there!!
You should - it's lovely
Nice vid, have you got a Norwich walk in the pipeline??
I do - watch this space - am editing it as we speak!
@@GimbalWalkTV Did you do the outside of the castle keep?
@@leebrewtea9339 I did from the castle into the town - not sure about the keep - I started on the bridge and walked down to the shopping centre then turned right and down to the street
@@GimbalWalkTV Looking forward to seeing it! Thanks for the reply.
Unlike Churchill, I enjoyed your video of Cromer very much. The pier was so cute. It also seems that the coastal areas you’ve been to lately are very clean. I wonder if the runner knows she’s on yt 😂 Loved the sound of the waves, such a great share. Keep on walking 😀
There not there in January lol. I guess tourism is good for the economy.
I love Cromer always go to No.1 overlooking the pier for fish and chips.
Oh yes.. Perfect!
Is Golden Sands Amusements in Cromer play Prize Bingo Gimbal Walk TV?
Good question - not sure!
I visited Cromer for the first time last week and to be honest it did not do much for me. I much prefer Sheringham.
Fair enough!
Hello I love your videos but why do they always jump ?
Jump?
Jump?
Jump ?
Give Lowestoft a shout-out video lol
I'm heading there soon
@@GimbalWalkTV Just down the coast a little more and your there lol.. If you go to Southwold, you will find on the pier, a part which is run by Tim Hunkin, all his homemade machines are in there and are very different from the norm to say the least. Tim hunkin done a tv show back in the day for the BBC called the secret life of machines. He has a channel on here also..
When I hear Cromer I always think of Ronnie Corbett episode in comedy Sorry 😂 but it does look amazing it's a pity it's so far away from where I live in Scotland ,. Did you stay in the Paris Hotel and was it good ?
Didn't stay there no. I was just here for the day. I've not even been in there yet but will do!
Was Sorry related to Cromer then?
I loved that show!
I would have enjoyed it more if it had been filmed using a different lens. Mid-distant landmarks such as the pier looked very away while passing parked cars they all looked like stretch limos. Plus the distortion of tall buildings is very marked. It took away the realism for me. I realise you may have to pan rather more using a different lens but it would produce, literally, a more realistic view. I do like and appreciate your films so I hope you don't object to my well intentioned comments.
Don’t mind feedback at all but I will always use a wide lens 😀
Is this place England
yes
Witch city
Very clean,quaint and colourful. What,s not to like ?
True
Unbelievable!! Cromer is the birthplace of the bravest man in recorded history, he was
twice awarded the George Cross which is the exact equivalent to the military Victoria cross.
HENRY BLOGG - Coxswain of Cromer lifeboat. Please look him up in Wikipedia.
No it is definitely not there are much better places to go on the North Norfolk coast
What would be your favourite of them all?
Each to their own
@@GimbalWalkTV Thats very subjective and like Veronika says each to their own, i was brought up in West Runton went to school in Sheringham sadly though they pulled the school down and built a retirement home.
I live not far from all these places and still visit them regularly but not Cromer its lost its appeal and charm to me, the wife an i love Sheringham its smaller more quirky, West Runton too, Mundesley, Brancaster, Holkham, Blakeney, i hate to many people Wells has become to over commercialised too bit like Cromer.
We like quiet sleepy places less hustle and bustle, Sheringham country park is beautiful this time of year.
Favourite beach would be Sea Palling its beautiful a small pub a small cafe a small chippy and a penny arcade for the children to lose themselves in with all the pennies from the family penny bottle.
@@apocalypticweasel9078 wells is an absolute dump, I do quite a lot of work there and occasionally Cromer too. I used to do the door at the pit in Cromer in the 90s and I thought it was a cesspit full of scagheads. Visiting the place for work now and then I can't say time has improved it.
@@sambrooks7862 Agreed
Nice advert for the place. It’s not so good away from the seafront and tourist areas. Bit of a drug problem around the place too. But no , it’s not the nicest beach on the coast.
