The birthplace of Britain
Great Britain started its life as an island in Cromer, in Norfolk.
A TV documentary on the natural history of the British Isles says that Cromer is the exact location where Britain separated from mainland Europe after the melting caused by the end of the Ice Age.
One oddity I noticed, when I visited the region, is that the area around Cromer is just about the only place on the East Anglia coast which is hilly. There are promontory tops, over there, that have collapsed into the sea and where there is still a risk of landslides.
