On my own doorstep - Cromer
'Jewel of the North Norfolk Coast' they'd have you believe, and yes, the beach can be nice. However, it really is a dark and dingy place in the town. Crime is rife, there's nothing there to appeal much to the locals, and the Chruch in the centre of town is a haven for kids drinking at night and other dodgy dealings. A really 'creepy' place.

Just 3 -4 miles down the road, Sheringham. Much brighter, nicer beach, better pubs, more shops/eateries and generally just more friendly. Lovely place, be a great place for a B3ta Bash at some point, especially in the summer.

I can vouch for that.
I much prefer Sheringham too! But North Walsham... sheesh. Words cannot express. And Felmingham. If ever there was a one horse town, that would be it. Banningham Arms is nice though.

I was in Sheringham this summer....
..I concur, its a lovely place. Ideal area for a weeks worth of cycling.

Hoorahhh for Sheringham!
I love Norfolk. We used to go there when we were little, all the way till I was 16, and then we went back last year. Norfolk has teh win, even Cromer (though you are right, as an adult it is a fucking creepy place).

If there is a b3ta meet in Norfolk I'm totally going. And North Walsham even I love that too. We used to stay in Bacton, and then at Witton Bridge which is so small it only has about 5 houses and that's it.

Good God you stayed in Bacton?
Nice beach I guess, but not much else. Still, Overstrand is lovely. And if you know where to find it, the Banningham Arms is ace.
