Great Yarmouth, Norfolk

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A large town on the Norfolk coast, at the mouth of the River Yare, Great Yarmouth has a long history as a fishing port, but more recently it has become more closely associated with seaside holidays, owing to the long stretches of sandy beaches in the region. St Nicholas church in Great Yarmouth is the largest parish church in England. It was founded in 1119. Much of the medieval town walls still stand, and there are numerous medieval and Tudor buildings in the town, including the Fisherman's Hospital, an almshouse dating to 1600. Much older is the Tolhouse, founded about 1300 and said to be the oldest civic building in England. It retains its original dungeons, so wrong-doers beware! Many of the old lanes and twisting alleys of medieval Yarmouth remain in the area called The Rows, near South Quay.
