I had a little jaunt to Cromer in Norfolk a few weeks back with Autumn's brother Stanley. Although the weather wasn't what we had hoped for we had great fun. 

Stanley's Granny took us for lunch, I even had my own plate of chips which I enjoyed very much

Afterwards we took a walk along the promenade, as you can see it was quite a blustery day and the sea was quite fierce so we weren't able to have a paddle.

We found a giant Hot Dog but we were still full from lunch so didn't get try one

 Stanley gave me my first experience on a Helter Skelter....it was really scary and fast at first but quite exciting so we did it 3 more times. Granny said we could have a ride on the roundabout and I chose the motorbike, not as fast as the Helter Skelter but still fun.

 To finish off we all had ice cream

We had a lovely day but when we got home Autumn asked us all about Cromer. We told her about our day out and the things we saw. She was interested to find out more so did some research and wrote a little report.

Cromer is a little seaside town located on the North Norfolk coast. It's famous for fresh crabs and the theatre at the end of the pier. The church has the highest tower in the county of Norfolk at just over 160ft. There are 171 steps and in the summer you are able to climb to the top for a small fee. Although  it seems to date back to the 14th Century the church fell into disrepair and was restored/rebuilt in the 18th Century.

A lot of the streets are narrow and unchanged from the Victorian era. While small they are crammed with shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes. 

The pier has had many forms dating back to 1391 but the current pier is dated around 1901. It has suffered damage over the years and been repaired numerous time. Storms caused considerable damage in 1949, 1953, 1976 and 1978. In February 1990, gales destroyed the amusement arcade and, on the 14th of November 1993, a 100 ton rig crashed into the pier, which left the theatre and lifeboat station stranded from the rest of the pier

The theatre sits on the end of the pier and has 510 seats. It can be quite spooky as while the performances are in full swing you can sometimes still hear the sea rolling around beneath you.

Cromer has a shingle beach which is patrolled by the RNLI . There is a museum that tells the history of the lifeboats and about Henry Blogg, a famous lifeboatman who received 7 medals for his heroism. Admission is free  and very popular with school children.

Cromer has a carnival which brings lots of people to the town. This year it is being held across the week of 17th to 23rd August. Lots of entertainment and events, there's something for everyone
