Eat Cromer crab
Crab and lobster are the main catch of the Cromer boats, and shops in the town sell fresh crab when the boats come in.
Ride the line to the sea
The Bittern Line from Norwich ends at Sheringham, with stops at Cromer and West Runton, so a car is not needed.
Walk up Beacon Hill
At 105 metres, Beacon Hill near West Runton is the highest point in Norfolk, with National Trust woodland around it.
Combine two railways
At Sheringham the national rail station and the North Norfolk Railway are close together; check the heritage line's calendar first.
