Gateway to the historic Broads and home to England’s second most complete medieval town wall as well as the best preserved Roman ruins in East Anglia, Great Yarmouth has a proud maritime heritage, beautifully brought to life aboard the Lydia Eva, a restored steam drifter moored on South Quay and annually at the Maritime Festival. Traditional Great Yarmouth Row houses, the oldest gaol in the country, former smoke houses and the remains of 13th century Franciscan cloisters all have a story to tell.
Greater Yarmouth likes to tell it’s heritage story differently than most, and considering it’s long tradition as a seaside resort, the Joyland snails, the Old Penny Museum and the Scenic Railway wooden rollercoaster ridden every time by a brake man give a retro seaside heritage edge to Great Yarmouth’s popular seafront.
