About this activity

Created by a dedicated researcher with a passion for uncovering the unique history of coastal towns, this atmospheric audio tour explores the storied past of a seaside champion.

While standard tours stick to dry scripts and tourist-heavy piers, this digital experience leads you along the rugged 100-million-year-old coastline and through the quiet backstreets where Cromer’s true character is found.

The narrative highlights tales of daring maritime rescues and local legends like the suffragette Emily Davison.

Using smart GPS technology, the authentic commentary and local insights play automatically as you walk, functioning entirely offline to ensure a seamless exploration without data concerns.

By the time you pass the historic Red Lion Hotel and stand before the towering spire of Cromer Parish Church, the town’s heritage will have transformed into a vivid, personal history.

You will leave the walk feeling less like a visitor and more like a true Norfolk insider.
