Cromer's new horse and cart taxi Tourists all over the world are used to trying out fun and unusual forms of transports as they take in the sights of a town or city. Go to Bangkok and you are likely to jump in a tuk tuk to explore the Thai capital, while in Venice people often favour a gondola as the best way to explore. Now a couple from Cromer are hoping visitors to the popular seaside town will shun their cars, give their feet a rest and take a trip on a horse and cart. Joe and Amanda Cook have spent many years being pulled around their home town, reigns in hand, by their beautiful Gypsy Cob horse and now plan to turn their favourite past-time into a business. From Easter, Rocky - one of the family's two horses - will set off at a leisurely pace from the Runton Road car park with up to six passengers and amble past the key sights. Mr Cook hopes it will encourage people to the town and work as both a novel taxi for tourists with weary feet and a mini tour. “I think a lot of people coming into Cromer aren't too sure what's available,” he said. “People sometimes miss the side streets - we can make them aware of the good shops that are there to see.” The couple started planning their business venture last summer after attracting attention during trips on the cart with their children, Lauren, 14, Allyse, 8, and Bobby , 2. The couple have since got a hackney carriage licence from North Norfolk District Council - licensing officer Tony Gent had to be taken on a safety-test ride, put the cart through an MOT and even added disc brakes to ensure their passengers are safe. |

It is on the north Norfolk coast and is famouse for the Cromer Crab. These crabs are a fair bit heavier, size for size, than crabs from other areas and bring a bigger price for the crab men. |

All goes for Nowt if the un MOT'd horse throws a Wobbly.... Kind of reminded of the old joke "What Goes Clip Clop, Clip Clop, BANG ?" Answer: a drive by shooting in Norwich... |
