Recommendations near Cromer

[felixthelogchopper]

Myself and my long suffering better half are off to Norfolk in the morning for a few days. Anyone got any recommendations for things to do, must-sees and good places to eat/drink? Thanks in advance.

We stay in West Runton most years at the moment and sort of do nothing, which seems to be the point of Norfolk somehow.

 

If you need really good quality toys for any small relations then the toy shop in West Runton is great - just off the Cromer/Sheringham road, up towards the station.

 

Second the Poppy line, and a trip into Holt at the far end - 20mins walk from the station or get the vintage bus if it's running. If you do, there is an excellent and very quirky secondhand book shop in the lane between the two main roads and the Christmas shop is quite amusing.

 

Well worth a trip out on a boat to see the seals at Blakeney Point. Temples Boats also land you on the point and you can walk up to the old lifeboat station. Quite atmospheric. If you are over that way it's worth going on to Wells and either French's fish and chips by the quayside, or eating Dutch pancakes on the sailing ship/bar in the harbour.

 

If you are particularly in to magic then Daveport's Magic Kingdom on the edge of North Walsham has a very good show, and another mini-show as you go round, although the museum itself still needs time to develop.

 

Main thing for me about Norfolk is the relaxing pace of the place - it just feels like stepping back to the 1950s.

A boat trip to see the seals is good we went from the national trust site at Morston 5mins from Blakeney.

The seals are definitely on the list.
