Great Yarmouth Seafront & Britannia Pier
Great Yarmouth
A classic English seaside resort. The Golden Mile seafront strings together piers, amusement arcades and sandy beaches, making it an easy day trip east of the Broads.
Great Yarmouth is Norfolk's liveliest seaside town. Its promenade, the Golden Mile, links Britannia Pier, Wellington Pier, a seafront amusement park and wide sandy beaches, filled with arcade machines, fish and chips and the spirit of an English seaside holiday. Britannia Pier was first built in 1858, and its pier theatre hosts variety shows in summer. The town also has Nelson's Column and the Time and Tide Museum. The train from Norwich takes about 35 minutes.
