On the opposite side, heading into Cromer, the bus stop is at the corner of the Common. Buses go to Cromer, North Walsham and Norwich. The mainline train station to Norwich (and beyond) is ten minutes walk away. Opposite the train station is the North Norfolk Steam Railway that goes to Holt. There are usually taxis outside the train station. There is also a taxi office approx 100 yards from the station.
