Overstrand, a crab fishing village just to the east of Cromer and within walking distance either along the beach or by the cliff top path, has safe sandy beaches, ideal for young children to build sandcastles , play beach cricket and football, or hunt for crabs. The village first came to prominence when the 19th century pastime of sea bathing came into fashion. Regular visitors included the Prince of Wales, The Duke of Marlborough, Albert Einstein and Mr Winston Churchill. As a result of several rich and prominent persons building their country houses in Overstrand, it became known as the village of millionaires. Between 1890 and 1905 a young Edwin Lutyens designed a chapel, two major houses, and a housing estate. Within the village there is a grocery store, Post Office, two public houses and a restaurant, but no amusement arcades or similar. It is within reach of all North Norfolk’s attractions and The Broads.
