Getting stuck in GreatYarmouth during dinnertime my other half and I decided that we would venture down the sea front to get some dinner. Even though I have been to Yarmouth more times than I care to remember neither my other half nor I had ever eaten in the town so we were at a bit of a loss where to go.
For those of you who have never been to Yarmouth the sea front is predominantly made up of arcades and restaurants so there was no shortage of places to try. With so much choice and no knowledge we decided to take a look at all menus, which are outside all the restaurants as a tool to pull people in.
All the restaurants serve the same dishes at the same price so the only thing that sets them apart is the ?look? of the establishment. Some are older and more run down than others and there are some that looked so vile we walked ...
Advantages: lots to do for both kids and adults Disadvantages: can be expensive
lovely from the outside and had awards galore, and there are a number of hotels as well as caravan sites around so whichever way you want to spend your holiday there is plenty of choice. We stayed in Caister at the Haven site there which cost £280 for a 6 berth chalet which was very comfortable and roomy and included on site activities and entertainment. There is another Haven site on the north coastal route out of Yarmouth called Seashore near the race tracks where I stayed 5 years ago and that was lovely too.
Shopping
The best bit about the shopping in GreatYarmouth is on market days which are run all year round on Wednesdays and Saturdays and in the summer have one on a Friday too. There are a limited number of stalls on a daily basis but this is when you get around 100 stalls available. You can find everything from fruit, veg ...
Advantages: plenty to do; Disadvantages: busy in summer; what to choose
NAME OF LOCATION: GreatYarmouth, a coastal town in Norfolk that has been popular for generations with day-trippers and longer stay holidaymakers alike.
BACKGROUND: I went for a week with Gee Vee Travel (see separate article) to GreatYarmouth staying at the Swanvale Lodge Hotel, 6 Standard Road, GreatYarmouth Norfolk NR30 2EZ (Tel/Fax: 01493 331442) with my parents. We had the opportunity to visit places around on a couple of the days, too but spent much of our time in Yarmouth (as it is generally known but not to be confused with the Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight). Kevin and Iain originally ran the hotel on behalf of Gee Vee Travel. Now Margaret and Paul manage the hotel, and there is a lift to all floors and ramps to the dining rooms and there was entertainment provided within our holiday price every evening.
