Yarmouth, a large traditional English seaside holiday resort,
two piers and 5 miles of beaches, but can get cold with
the wind blowing off the North Sea.
A busy port, with one of the main fishing fleets in
the UK, which is also used by boats from the Norfolk Broads.
The two piers, Wellington Pier (1854) and Britannia Pier
(1858), provide all the fun of the seaside.
Great Yarmouth has retained many historical features, especially
around the south quay. Walk from the town to the quay through
the Rows, past the 300 year old Merchants House. The Customs
House and the remains of the town walls can be seen.
The town museum, one of 14(!), is in tower.
The town has England's largest parish church, the 14th century
Church Of St Nicholas.
All the fun of the seaside resort with amusements and
beaches. Try the Leisure Beach
for the rides and Joylands
for youngsters. Swimming pool, roller-skating rink, play area,
entertainments, restaurants and cafes.at the Marina
Leisure Centre.
Shopping area with most shops, and plenty of night life
with cinemas, theatres, and clubs. Summer shows here and at
the holiday centres around the town.
