Great Yarmouth Cottages
Great Yarmouth is situated on the Norfolk Coast and sits at the mouth of the River Yare. It is one of England's oldest holiday resort attracting holiday-makers since the 1800s. The town has rich maritime traditions and is an important herring fishing port. It was also a naval base for Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson who set sail from its harbour on a number of occasions. We've provided information about Great Yarmouth cottages below.
There is a good selection of sights and landmarks away from the bright lights of the resort area. The Tolhouse Museum for example, provides a fascinating insight into one of the oldest prisons in the country. Other places of interest include Great Yarmouth Market which is one of the biggest in the UK with over 80 stalls and the award-winning Time and Tide Museum.
Many of the sandy beaches that run between
Hunstanton, Winterton to Hopton are Blue Flag award winners and provide visitors with a safe, clean environment in which to enjoy their holiday. They are also well suited to outdoor pursuits such as hiking and walking with a number of fitness trails that run near Gorleston Cliffs.
The famous piers of Great Yarmouth that punctuate the golden beaches date back to the 19th Century. The Wellington and Britannia piers have been renovated a number of times and still provide entertainment to visitors to this day in the form of concerts and shows.
