Underrated but incredible UK seaside town loved by whoever stumbles upon it

A resort in England has many attractions, including a museum, tropical zoo, a weekly market and the only pier in the world to have a full-season show at the end of it. The UK has a plethora of undiscovered places to visit that you may have never even considered. Those wanting to enjoy a traditional UK seaside holiday or day trip are spoilt for choice thanks to Britain being an island with miles of beautiful coastline.
One such area that may not have been on your to-do list is located on the north coast of the county of Norfolk, 23 miles from Norwich. Cromer became a resort in the early 19th century with rich local families visiting - even the future King Edward VII enjoyed a game of golf there. Fans of the sport can still enjoy a round there today at the Links Country Park Hotel. Set in 40 acres of Country Park, the plush leisure hotel is home to a 9-hole golf course, as well as gym, tennis court and indoor swimming pool.
Another hotspot is Felbrigg Hall, which is a beautiful country home with acres of parkland and a walled garden for visitors to explore. History fans will be in their element at Cromer Museum. It is located in a row of late 19th Century Victorian fisherman's cottages and features displays on the lifeboatmen over the years, the growth of tourism and what happened to the town during wartime. There are also fascinating exhibits on the geology and archaeology of the area.
You can get up close and personal with the local landscape by enjoying a walk along its long stretches of coastal cliffs, some of which are up to 70 metres high and are rich in fossils. For those wanting to know more about the coastline, visit the Deep History Coast Discovery Point where you can find out what the area was like thousands of years ago. Download the app to take a guided tour along the coast to uncover its history and see how it used to look. It also provides information on local facilities and where to get some refreshment.
