No visitor to Norfolk
should ignore this busy seaside resort built
within ancient walls. Not so long ago its
prosperity came from shipbuilding and North
Sea herring fishing. It has two piers and
within the town are many Tudor, Georgian and
Victorian buildings.
The town has numerous
museums ranging from the Tolhouse Museum – a
former jail - housed in Yarmouth’s oldest
building and the 16th century
Elizabethan House Museum, a Tudor merchant’s
house. Its parlour witnessed the signing of
Charles 1’s death warrant. Other places of
interest include the seafront Shipwrecked
Sailors Home, with lots of memorabilia, and 13th
century Greyfriar’s Cloisters.
