Used to have our 2 week summer hols there as a kid in the 70s Yarmouth was really busy then. We went back last year and was a bit disappointed as the place has clearly gone down hill, It seems to be a bit of forgotten place. Glad your review was positive and upbeat, well done.
Love Yarmouth been going there since childhood. The pier did used to go over the sea but not anymore. Regents road is a little aladdin’s cave of shops both great and not so much. Now take my children and have a fun time. You should try Hemsby another lovely little seaside place or Cromer.
I went there once as a kid in the 70's and we had masses of green flies. I'd never seen anything like it, we were covered walking around. Seems like the bugs enjoy Gt Yarmouth anyway 🤣
We was there in September (8th to the 22nd it was brilliant we had a fantastic caravan at seashore holiday park.and not far from the beach and sea. Really nice soft sand and the taxis was very good and cheap go down reagent road plenty of gift shops and lots of cafes. You will love every second of your day
I love this part of the country and have been going there since I was a kid and still visit a couple of times a year now. Beach walks with that lovely sea air,fish and chips,arcades the list goes on. The hippodrome is where they have the circus shows and the sea did used to come under the pier as I can remember it from years past. Great video and definitely a thumbs up and glad you enjoyed your visit.
Do you have a spare battery for the mobility scooter? If not maybe good idea for hilly areas that zap the battery or longer days out, or look into customising the scooter with a folding detachable solar battery for sunny days so it can charge on the move if installed correctly even on over cast days with limited natural light
The Winter Gardens havre just had a £12m investment allotted for refurbishment. Its the oldest winter garden's in the world! The model village had a Banksy, he came and placed a piece in there in secret. It was awesome! Busy Street is the best place ever. Love GY. Stay every year ❤ The motherland!
Britania pier was always the same length but the sea used to come up higher (more sand built up there now which is a constantly changing situation there) meaning the end of the pier was going out into the sea. They used to have fast boat rides off the end of the pier back in the 90s.
You missed a trick. There's a cheap burger place on the shop street where you can buy a burger for £1.50 (not entirely sure if the price) but it's cheap
30-40 years ago the Pier used to be in the sea(I used to fish from it), personally I think this is why Hemsby is being allowed to go to waste, redirecting the sea from there will re-introduce water to Britannia Pier and it couldn't cope with it unless there were a hell of a lot of money spent on upgrades and repairs.
I loved Great Yarmouth as a kid, was there every year especially Gorleston we used tonsit on harbour wall for hours and watch the big boats sail in and out. As with most seaside towns and the world we live in now it has sadly depreciated. I went back to Yarmouth around 10 years ago to see how much it had changed and I was so saddened to see the state of some places there. I still have my childhood memories though and i treasure them.
GT Yarmouth is a good time, they have mini golf X2 and they have a cool arcade with loads of games, one of which is basketball connect 4, that's really fun to play!
High unemployment, high rates of teenage pregnancy, low levels of academic achievement, plus it's a seasonal seaside town. That's a recipe for massive economic deprivation! I work with a lot of people who were born in Yarmouth (I live and work in Norwich) who have all said the same thing 'If you have any talent or ability then you get of there as soon as possible'!
I found adam and the ants paperback 1981, in yarmouth 1986 love the nice things you can find there, such as your pokerman cards its a great place don't knock it.
Having lived in Yarmouth for 22 years beginning in 2001, I can confirm that it is nothing more than one big oppressive cloud of gloom and depression. The streets are filthy, the shops are all the same and 50% of them are now gone anyway as no one can afford to pay the ridiculous rental prices for them, and the people are just downright rude. The leaflets advertising the town do not show the gutters and rivers so full of rubbish, even poop, nor do they talk about the gulls that leave you bloodied and bruised just because there might have been a chance to steal a chip or two clean out of your hands. They don't show the homelessness problem which is horrific and they certainly don't invite you to live there because there are no jobs. If you're just visiting for a weekend, okay sure, it'd be an interesting, eye opening weekend, but in all, as other commenters have said, it really is Not-So-Great Yarmouth, affectionally known by the locals as one of the biggest shitholes in the UK.
I like Yarmouth - Pirates Cove is great and the best crazy golf I have ever seen. Great ice cream along the promenade, lovely sandy beach. Sure, there are a few skanks there, but overall it is great for a trip. I saw Robin Hood Prince of thieves in the Ark cinema! 1990!
Do not go to Harry Ramsden's as it is shit, instead go to the market (in the town not near the seafront) and select something as it's cheaper better and more choice.
You've picked the best seaside resort to visit I love great yarmouth I used to go with my mum when I was younger and I also used to take my daughter and day I'm hoping to move to great yarmouth it's the best seaside place ever from Michelle in Nottingham 😊😅😂
@@peterstudley1804 you know your locos and your M&GN. I am just old enough to remember watching a train running alongside the road at Hillingdon on the way to my grandparents. Timing and statistics would almost certainly make it a 4MT.
Definetely contact:- Walk with Tim youtube channel. He lives In Great Yarmouth. Used to Have a seaside house hear. Lots of Positive memories. Did you visit the "Waterways!?
Absolute crap! I have lived at a lot “seaside towns” such as Southsea, Skegness, Margate, and while Yarmouth is cheesy and a little run down now but what seaside town isn’t and there is a lot worse out there! Your contributors need to try other resorts….it will be worse I assure you!
The reason you didn't hate Yarmouth is because you only walked along the seafront. Actually go IN to town, and see the grimness of it; I live here and I think it's a hole. 😅
Many times I have been to Great Yarmouth. Especially when I was a kid. Staying in Haven Holiday park. Been there recently, and seen changes. Especially with the beach front , and town centre etc.. Probably best to stay away from the back streets. As many Druggies and Romanian and Gypsy Chaves arguing in the streets 😂. Hopefully Great Yarmouth, can hopefully bring the spark back to how it used to be 🤞👍 Cheers from the Vlog was interesting 👍
The sea front and shops are ok. The back streets are more like most Eastern European back streets. Drugs and Romanian gypsies 😂 also the famous long bar has gone. A cause of my hangovers when we came over the border from suffolk
Yarmouth is amazing, my autistic lad loves it.. that tower /pub thing was supposed to be a casino and viewing area at one point , that great street of holiday shops was pedestrianised years and years ago, and Jim Davidson once owned the wellington pier, in the tea rooms (model village) old penny machines and winter gardens are being invested in and turned into something
Yarmouths been pretty much my 2nd home since I was a kid and I think part of it is where its as much an industrial town as a Seaside one so it doesn't have the shine you expect perhaps but I love it all the same, heres some things that might help on stuff you werent sure on Landmark was once the Tower Market with the tower a viewing platform, I have a vintage deck of cards where its prominently featured The Piers have not really been shortened by much, Yarmouths coastline has been altered by the Harbour being dug out, this incidently also caused errosion in some of the nearby towns, Hemsby was badly effected and Caister has a Hotel return from the sea that was lost in the 40s The Harry Ramsdens was once an attraction that was called Treasure Trove (I think), it was a tresure hunting/diving history theme with multiple rooms you watched scenes with anamatronics ending with a room full of actual treasure, the adjoined resutrant was themed too and even had a dungeon with a falling ceiling. The Hippodrome is a indoor Circus (as opposed to a tent) that has a floor that drops to become a pool. The Moulin Rouge looking Golf was a Waxworks originally, not the one labled the worst in the world though, that was on Regent street in the old House thats now in quite a sorry state. The Model Village also houses an amazing Penny arcade museum, complete with Card accepting penny smasher, on my last visit I managed to win a shilling and a bouncy ball which sounds like not much until you realise how hard those old games were. It is an amazing town if you don't expect too much from it, Regent has always had something for everyone (Best Rock in the world from docwras) and theres plenty of history to enjoy, yes theres some sadly extinct attractions that are dearly missed but old Yarco isn't dead yet.
Great Yarmouth is the best never mind the rest. We will be coming back next year and staying at seashore holiday park we really love great Yarmouth the place is brilliant. Fantastic. Gorgeous place for a 2 week holiday
I moved to yarmouth 2 years ago, Great place, unfortunately (as I found out after being made redundant 3 months ago from my work at home job) there is no decent jobs on offer, just seasonal and retail. Cost of living here is pretty cheap at least, and the council are always putting something on for free, e.g. festivals and firework displays
The WORST really?...Great yarmouth is the BEST seaside resort in the u.k! ..(dawlish warren is not bad either)...I can think of worse & been to a fair few such as seen it in a day skegness & Rusty relics in filthy blackpool🤷♂☀👍.
If you like beaches, tacky arcades, and free parking, then Gorleston is far better than Yarmouth. Has less arcades ad Shops though. It does however have a Banksy! Glad you had a good time!
I visited it last year with my young family and had a wonderful time. It does seem to have improved a lot in the past few years and I would definitely like to return.
Cool to see Great Yarmouth finally. When I used to work for Shell (actually a subcontractor called AJS) to support the oil and gas platforms in the north sea we had daily contact with our colleagues in Great Yarmouth from both Den Helder and Leiden. From Great Yarmouth the oil platforms are supported and the gas comes in from the North Sea.
Pleasurewood Hills? Thats in Lowestoft, Suffolk, Mate. And the seaside theme in Lowestoft is on a much smaller scale than Yarmouth Yarmouth is what it is. Love it
@@MoreKevinChapman I moved away from Lowestoft about 3 years ago. I had to drive my mum to and from work in Yarmouth quite a lot and i wish it had been 15 minutes. It's closer to 30
If you're interested in model villages there are two interesting places in the Netherlands, there is Madurodam, the Netherlands in miniature, and there is miniworld Rotterdam, a model trainway of Rotterdam
I remember that street when I was a kid, allways full of England and union jack flags. I remember buying a big Rambo knife from one of the shops it had a survival kit in the handle .I was only a nipper and they sold us them lol.
As someone who grew up going to great yarmouth every year, i believe that during summer it really does live up to its name. And anyone who thinks overwise is clearly a karen who needs to lower their standards.
I used to live in Norfolk as a kid while in care. My social worker came to visit me one weekend, we went to Gt Yarmouth, she thought it was a bit of a dive. We didn’t stay there very long as she didn’t like the place. Think she was a bit of a snob truth be told. She was a lady of a certain age. It’s a little run down in places but so are many seaside towns. I’ve been to Yarmouth when I lived there as an adult.
Cromer is more classy and nicer Gy has gone down the pan. But still remind me of caravan holiday with my family when I was a kid lol I still like Gy regardless
The crazy golfers were not happy 😂😂

I remember as a child in late 80's the pier use to be half in the sea, looks like they built up the beach to protect the pier?
Went as a kid, the holiday was blighted by little black biting inset things that were everywhere that put me off ever returning.
I went there once as a kid in the 70's and we had masses of green flies. I'd never seen anything like it, we were covered walking around. Seems like the bugs enjoy Gt Yarmouth anyway 🤣
Went over summer for a week and was a great place, very much enjoyed it

My husbands family lived in the rows in 1910. Still there.
Love Gt Yarmouth, been going on and off for years (too many to say) going for a week this saturday
The Winter Gardens havre just had a £12m investment allotted for refurbishment. Its the oldest winter garden's in the world! The model village had a Banksy, he came and placed a piece in there in secret. It was awesome! Busy Street is the best place ever. Love GY. Stay every year ❤ The motherland!
My family use to go to Haven in Great Yarmouth. Those are memories that won't be forgotten
Britania pier was always the same length but the sea used to come up higher (more sand built up there now which is a constantly changing situation there) meaning the end of the pier was going out into the sea. They used to have fast boat rides off the end of the pier back in the 90s.

Gt Yarmouth is most probably the cleanest and most well kept of all the seaside resorts and I have been to all of them
Haha the people playing crazy golf were very confused
Rhyl is probably the worst place imo. It just feels run down.

Love the place, you should also go Banger racing which is a great nights entertainment.
Definitely agree with you about Harry ramsdens - very overpriced
Nothing wrong with Great Yarmouth, had many happy times there.👍
Its a lot better than Blackpool and Skegness
Do not go to Harry Ramsden's as it is shit, instead go to the market (in the town not near the seafront) and select something as it's cheaper better and more choice.
at least it looks like a seaside town unlike margate that has lost the seaside look and feeling.

Not the worst. Try Morecambe or Cleethorpes
I'm going there on the 28th, Fairground freights at the amusement park :)
Two weeks, and we will be in yarmouth 😊 love the place and already booked in at the circus 😅
Lots of drugs and violence that most nostalgic holiday makers won’t come across.
Vs the ones in Australia? Looks like fun to me.
Harry Ramsdens fish and chips varies a lot, ive had some great ones! ❤❤
The pleasure beach and pier are one huge facade to the real Yarmouth, grotty nasty back streets with nothing good going down amongst them
Mablethorpe tops my list!
It’s up their 😢
Believe me.....the tide comes in a long way!! You are there at low tide.
My daughter lives there Yarmouth has been left to go in to ruin.
Gorleston, on the south side of Yarmouth has the bingo.
The palmist was closed , due to unforeseen circumstances 🤪🤪🤣🤣
Go get chocolate strawberries my favourite shop there
No. Cromer is.
Most definitely not .
The tower is holiday apartments

I loved Great Yarmouth when I went!!!
when i was a kid my nan took me to see michael barrymore in yarmouth, he zinged my nan when she took me for a wee.
I quite like Great Yarmouth. The only part I didn’t like was the shopping centre at the end of the high street that was grim.
It still is!
