Shopping has without a doubt turned over the ages, with it being one of those things you would associate with a woman doing on a Saturday and/or Sunday afternoon, to now being an experience that men and women alike can enjoy. Part of this is probably down to the growth of men having to look as good as the women, in our changing society. That is why going to Great Yarmouth, along with getting drunk and soaking in the sun, I knew that one of the other enjoyable past times would be to go shopping, and surely in a place like Yarmouth it would be better than our old boring Cambridge shopping. We had parked up quite far away from the whole shopping area, this was ...  Read the complete review

I live in Cheshire but I went to visit my friend who lives in Norwich last week, well I thought it was Norwich but its actually nearer to Great Yarmouth. Anyway we were a bit knackered from a night on the booze in Norwich the night before so we decided to go to Great Yarmouth, now maybe its because I don't live near the sea but I got AMAZINGLY excited about Great Yarmouth when we first went....and sadly all the way through our night....It was WICKED!!! As soon as you go on to the promenade there are lights that obviousley aren't as good as Blackpool's illuminations, but the queues are shorter and its still wicked all the same, and the gambling places look ...  Read the complete review

I moved to Norfolk from Derbyshire about 4 years ago, and now have the luxury of being able to visit the coastal resort of Great Yarmouth whenever I want. Having lived in Derbyshire for 20 years, the furthest away possible from any beach whatsoever. Now, with Hunstanton only about 30 minutes away and Great Yarmouth just over an hour away, I visit the seaside whenever I can, even in the winter. Now, Great Yarmouth is not great in the Winter months - we tried walking along the beach last January, just so we could say we have done it, and let me tell you, it was blooming cold!! Also, all the seaside-type shops were (predicatably) boarded up, so there was not a lot ...  Read the complete review

I live about 100 miles from Great Yarmouth, but I do try and visit a couple of times a year for a day trip. Great Yarmouth is a fantastic seaside resort it's brash and bold. It has a huge fair, lots of sea front attractions, take away shops galore. The best part is the shops, Great Yarmouth has tons of souvenir shops, selling traditional seaside things like rock and Great Yarmouth memorabilia, to cheap CD's, clothes etc. Great Yarmouth's beach is beautiful mile upon mile of beautiful golden clean sands. There is even a little land train that takes you up and down the promenade. There are loads of attractions to keep you amused. ...  Read the complete review

AS a young child we went to Great Yarmouth for our holidays countless times, I can always remember it being very breezy and not usually hot. It was a long journey in those days of over 5 hours. Just recently we have moved house and find ourself within easy reach of Great Yarmouth for a day trip, so I thought it would be nice to go back and see how it had changed. These days a lot of the road there is dual carriage way,so it is quicker to reach, but it was still nice to look across the fields and see the Broads, although none of the boats seemed to have any sails anymore. On entering Great Yarmouth, I noticed that the Vauxhall Caravan and Camping park was ...  Read the complete review
