Clearly, the crumpet has little holes, and compared to muffins, has a more 'rubbery' texture, the muffin is bread-like.

They are both cooked on a griddle, hence the browning that happens on the outsides. But crumpet batter is much thinner than English muffins. And the crumpets are not turned over. They are more like a rubbery pancake, cooked in a ring placed on a griddle. I know that doesn't sound appealing but it really is good:-) English muffins are more bread-like, just cooked on a griddle.

Yes, crumpets are "little pancakes". Very good, especially with butter and jam.

A crumpet is a sweet bread that is cooked like a pancake, but rises so that the top is full of tiny holes. It is served with butter and toppings like jam and honey. An english muffin is more like a sweet bread roll in that you split it open to put on the topping and then eat it like a sandwich, closed. Below are photos of an english muffin and a crumpet.
