Royal Cromer Golf Club

The Royal Cromer Golf Club sits right on the Norfolk coast, commanding views across the North Sea that'll make you forget you're playing golf at all. It's an 18-hole championship course with serious pedigree - one of England's oldest seaside links, opened back in 1888. Even if you're not a golfer, the clubhouse and grounds are worth a wander, and the location itself is the real draw. The cliff-top setting means the wind is always a factor, which keeps things interesting.

Golfers will absolutely get the most from this place. It's challenging without being punishing, and the routing takes you through some genuinely lovely holes with the sea as a constant backdrop. Non-golfers might find it a bit one-note after ten minutes of looking at the course - you're essentially watching people hit balls - but the panorama from the terrace is crackling. Cromer itself is right there, so you're never far from the pier, the shops, or decent fish and chips.

This works brilliantly as part of a Norfolk caravan holiday. The Grove Glamping and Forest Park Caravan Site are practically on your doorstep, while Seacroft and Manor Farm are only a short drive away. If you're staying at any of the parks dotted around West Runton or further inland - Woodland Holiday Park, Glen Farm Norfolk - Cromer's close enough for a day trip. Ring ahead before you visit; you'll need to know their playing schedules and whether visitors are welcome without a handicap certificate.
