About

Cromer Town ward encompasses the historic seaside settlement and its immediate surrounding area along the North Norfolk coast. The town is defined by its prominent pier and the landmark Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, which features one of the tallest towers in the county. The urban area is compact, with streets leading directly from the central shopping thoroughfare down to the shoreline and working harbour.

The local economy remains connected to the fishing industry, particularly for Cromer crab. The ward includes the clifftop East and West Runton golf course and the wooded slopes of Roman Camp. A notable local feature is the independently operated lifeboat station, which is one of the few in the region still launching directly from the beach.
