North Lodge Park sits at Cromer’s east end, opening out into wide grass, coastal skies and uninterrupted light. While locally known as a children’s play area, the park is also part of Cromer’s quieter rhythm — dog walkers, evening light, and open space just beyond the seafront’s bustle. Its simplicity makes it visually distinctive, especially under changing skies.
A Park on Cromer’s East Edge
Set slightly back from the main promenade, North Lodge Park feels more residential than touristic. The openness of the ground and surrounding grasses gives the park an unexpected sense of scale, with views shaped more by sky and weather than by buildings. It’s a place Cromer residents pass through daily rather than pose in — which makes it particularly interesting to photograph.
North Lodge Park works best photographically in softer light. Early mornings and late afternoons bring texture to the grass and sky, while overcast days emphasise the openness of the space. In winter, the park feels exposed and elemental; in summer, calmer and expansive.
