One Of The Best Cromer Walks

Cromer Lighthouse circular walk

I may be biased, but I think this is one of best walks around the coast in Norfolk, particularly for the views.  It takes you through the cliffs and right up to the flashing Cromer lighthouse, then along a quiet disused railway and back via Overstrand.  Finishing off walking alongside Cromer golf course with fantastic views over towards the pier.  You can find all the information you need about this Cromer Lighthouse walk here.

I was also approached by Ellen to share some of my high points along the trail, one particular one was "the peace and tranquillity are fantastic; you'll be lucky if you come across anyone".
