Cromer Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

A lighthouse has existed in some form atop Foulness cliff since 1669. Sir John Clayton organised the Cromer Lighthouse construction, which cost £3000 to build. However, due to the high running costs, the lighthouse could not be kept running and fell into disrepair. In 1866, the original lighthouse was swallowed by the sea after a landslide.

The current lighthouse was built in 1833 and is still functioning. Although the tower is not open to the public, you can easily visit the grounds.

Cromer Pier

Highlight • Monument

A pier has existed in some form in Cromer since 1391. After various wooden piers were washed away or destroyed by the sea, an iron pier was constructed by Douglass and Arnott, opening in 1901. However, gales and storms continued to plague the pier throughout its history. In February 2012, a large project was announced to improve its sea defences.

Today, the pier puts on great shows at its theater and has a restaurant bar. You should check the tide times before you visit. You can find more information, here: cromerpier.co.uk
