Transcribed from the 1889 Agas H. Goose edition by David Price, email ccx074@pglaf.org
A measured voice from a country rector invites listeners to discover the quiet charm of Cromer, a seaside resort praised for its pure air and gentle waves. He weaves together medical advice, seasonal cues and personal recollections, urging a summer pilgrimage that promises both healthful sea‑bathing and modest adventure along the coast. The narration also sketches the bustle of the Great Eastern Railway, the comforting rhythm of the tide, and the simple pleasures of strolling past painted cliffs and bustling harbors.
In the early pages the guide shares vivid memories of a Cornish holiday, comparing the painter’s canvases to the living landscape that awaits in Norfolk. He balances practical concerns—travel costs, the inconvenience of long journeys, and the occasional nervous twinge of the aging body—with a gentle encouragement to step away from daily toil. Listeners will feel the lure of the open sea and the promise of a restorative retreat before the story moves beyond this introductory wander.
