Top 7 Things to See and Do in Great Yarmouth

Buy a caravan in Norfolk and you'll be living close to Great Yarmouth - one of Britain's top seaside destinations. As you'd expect there's plenty to see and do in the town, so we've narrowed your choices down with our favourite seven. Don't worry - if you're coming to stay in your holiday caravans year round you'll find time to fit it all in!
1: The Pleasure Beach. Every seaside town worth its salt has to have one - and Great Yarmouth has one of the most charming and exciting of them all. Traditional and new rides rub shoulders in a classic mix of seaside restraint and all out mayhem - so go for your life and see who can do the most rides in one day!
2: Merrivale Model Village. When you buy a caravan in Norfolk you'll come across some weird and wonderful things - none more so than the Model Village. Perfectly crafted and set in a wonderfully landscaped garden, Merrivale Model Village is a genuine miniature universe, eerily scaled down but with every last detail attended to.
3: Amazonia. The name alone says it all - adventure and jungle excitement, right in the heart of Great Yarmouth. Owning caravans in Norfolk is about more than simply enjoying a traditional seaside town and exploring some varied countryside! Amazonia is a reptilarium - a fascinating rescue centre that houses iguanas; turtles; tortoises; geckos; spiders; insects; snakes; and lizards. For the stout hearted there's the Tarantula Tunnel...
4: Britannia Pier. Some of the best things in life are still free - like the gorgeous Victorian Britannia Pier. When you buy a caravan in the area don't overlook this delightful spot - an ideal location for an after dinner stroll, or just for an amble in the afternoon. Take in the sights and sounds and delight in the fact that places like this still exist in the United Kingdom.
5: The Hippodrome. Not so much a place to see or a thing to do as a venue that could feature any one of a hundred brilliant things. The Great Yarmouth Hippodrome is superbly situated for families owning caravans at one of Yarmouth's nearby holiday home parks. There's a stunning Summer Circus and Water Spectacular here every year. Check programme for other events and appearances.
6: The seafront. Buy a caravan in Norfolk and you'll quickly learn that one of the greatest attractions in Great Yarmouth is the whole "Golden Mile" of sand and sea that abuts the bustling town. Ample sunbathing, clean sands and plenty of traditional amusements make the Golden Mile one of the best beach locations in Britain for classic family fun.
7: Fritton Lake. Tired of the sea? Get away from it all into the welcome embrace of Fritton Lake, a glorious woodland retreat offering all sorts of outdoor activities. Enjoy boats and pedaloes plus a farm and mini golf course.
