GREAT YARMOUTH | The fourth WORST seaside in the UK?

GREAT YARMOUTH | Is it really the fourth WORST seaside in the UK?
The seaside town of Great Yarmouth was recently voted one of the worst seaside towns in England. We take a look to see if that's true with a walking tour of Great Yarmouth beach and seafront.
I'd be really interested from hearing from you if you believe Great Yarmouth to be the fourth worst seaside in Britain or if you know anywhere worse - let me know in the comment section.
Poor old Great Yarmouth, it's the fourth worst seaside town in Britain. The results of the latest Which? survey have landed and the iconic Norfolk beach resort achieved a score of just 52 per cent, making it fourth bottom of the pile and the fourth worst seaside town in England.
It's time to put that right and have a walk along the seafront from Pleasure Beach and the log flume, down past the amusement arcades, Sea Life Centre, the big wheel, the amusement arcades and down to the beach.
Great Yarmouth has two piers, a pleasure beach, amusements, cafes, tourist attractions, shops, and lots more so how can it be voted down so much and named as one of the worst seaside towns in the UK?
In this walking tour you'll see everything Great Yarmouth has to offer from exciting rides, mini golf, the Britannia Pier, the Winter Gardens and more.
If you're coming for a weekend break or a holiday you'll find Great Yarmouth a fantastic seaside town and holiday resort. It makes no sense for Great Yarmouth to be voted so low by Which Magazine. It's got a great beach, lots to do for the kids in the holidays, a cinema, shops, hotels, B&B's and everything else you could want for your holiday or staycation in the UK.
Don't take my word for it though. Have a watch of this video and make your own mind up and let me know in the comments what you think!

I've been so many times to Yarmouth, particularly when I was a child and had a few holidays in recent years with my family, we are going back next year, it will always hold a special place in my heart, thanks for sharing another great vlog 👍

[@barbd5607]

Same Here, we just got back from a lovely few days in Great Yarmouth. We honeymooned there 50yrs ago and loved it then. Been back so many time since with our kids and family…It pretty much is a yearly must. It hasn’t changed for years. Arnold Palmers Crazy Golf is replaced by Pirate Cove CG now…Is still so much fun. The entertainment and now wonderful dining places…Fish and chips to die for! I love Great Yarmouth and won’t have a bad word said about this wonderful seaside resort 🥰

[@evelynbrown4550]

I live in Norwich and last year spent 5 days at Yarmouth's Seashore Holiday Camp with my grandchildren (from London). We had a brilliant time and are returning this summer. It's a wonderful place for a holiday with children. Great Yarmouth has definitely improved over the years. I highly recommend it.

Yarmouth. It is what it is. Well run and geared up for tourism. I love it. And I am normally hard to please A superb central market place, cheap parking, kept clean, plenty of small independent shops, good value meals, nice people, home to England's finest traditional circus and it maintains a healthy summer-time vibe. 4th worst in UK? Get over yourself. Its buzzing Outside the town is Vauxhall Holiday Park - totally professional and customer focused.

4th worst, really ? I went there as a kid and my two brothers, we had an awesome time. Did you manage to get served up a cookie by the Queen to take home :D Sealife centres, I can really recommend them. The last one we visited was in Scarborough where they had two really cute and friendly otters that wanted your attention. Great experience! Not a chance I'd go on that springy wire thing, eek ! :D It has amusements, pleasure park, fish n chip shops, bars and restaurants, a pier, what more can you ask for ? Lovin the crispy white trainers making an appearance :D Thanks for another great walk :)

[@anthonyoliver3711]

The Windmill was built originally as a cinema in 1908, known as 'The Gem' - one of the first purpose built in the country. The central aisle was the dividing line between the two seating areas - one for women and one for men - no back row canoodling in those days. It later became a theatre putting on summer shows with famous TV celebrities. The windmill sails were added in 1946 when the theatre re-opened after the war. A super video but missing just one little trick - the beautiful circus building behind 'Circus-Circus' amusements, built in 1903 and still putting on fantastic shows with a circus ring that fills with water for amazing displays - maybe next time?

[@DrSir05]

theres stabbing nearly every week

[@ritapowell4695]

I don’t know why on earth it’s been given such a bad rating. It’s an ideal place for families with children, and so much to do, and a lovely sandy beach. I loved the video, I’ve never been here myself and always wondered what it was like. Thanks for a lovely tour around.

[@xx_sugarcube_xx8170]

I’ve grown up going to Yarmouth as the place where i go to the beach and tbh I think it’s one of the best beaches, there is tons of restaurants, arcades, a aquarium and tons of cool building architecture if you are interested in that stuff, it’s really quite pretty and very fun, and surprisingly very clean!!

[@tonypettigrew4124]

Have yet to visit Great yarmouth but going by your video I have no idea why it was given the rating it was? The only let down was the State of the Winter Gardens it needs a sympathetic restoration to make it the pride of Great yarmouth again. Shame to also see the Windmill as a golf play area rather than a theatre which I presume it was before? but at least it is not lying empty and decaying so thats a positive. Quite funny when you mentioned charles Dickens and a horse and carriage clipped clopped past I would imagine those were the very sounds he heard there too!! The Flamingo must look very good all lit up in the Evening I would imagine along with the other slot machine and games Arcades. Everywhere looked very clean and some lovely walking space with good scenery so Heres to great yarmouth and hopefully this will be a bumper year and show "WHICH" that it does not deserve to be in 4th place at all. Long may the british seaside resorts flourish as they bring so much Joy to so many people....

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Well said - totally agree

[@isaachunt6239]

The anchor gardens cafe is by far the cheapest cup of tea and food around. 90p a mug of tea nice food too. Notice how clean of litter the area is outstanding in comparison to many other coastal areas

[@paulburton9386]

Great video. I just wish you had gone onto the Wellington Pier too! The Windmill was formerly a cinema and theatre. It started life as a cinema. Performers including George Formby, Tommy Steele, Frankie Howerd and Sidney James performed there. There is a tour video on KZbin. It is owned by Peter Jay and used to be owned by his late father, Jack Jay.

Forth worst...poppycock I say...Yes I live within 200 meters from the beach..! I moved here in 2008 from Harrow and never been happier...my wife moved from African to Luton... after meeting me, moved here too about 5 years ago, sold her place and have a lovely Victorian house (No mortgage). She loves the amazing people, the fresh air and fitness walking, and zumbia classes at Market gates and tonight some cancer support group is taken a group of woman onto the Norfolk broads for a evening of dancing on the river (on a boat of course)... How amazing does that sound to you ?. Last night even lazy me turned off the Tv at 9pm and for a hour and a half, just walked in the empty roads down the side streets and I felt 100% safe and said hello to the odd person out that evening, and even watched a pink moon rise out of the ocean before returning home at 10-30...I could have even got a "bag of chips" too. Wherever you are, life is what you make of it.. and in Yarmouth that life can be good.

[@isaachunt6239]

We just visited great yarmouth on 17th June was supposed to be just a weekend but we extended the break. Absolutely loved it there. Amazing sandy beach people are so friendly some of the bistros had lovely food such as cafe ocean hotel. Who exactly has called this the 4th worst surely they mean 4th best. Compare this to Hastings sheerness Southend Margate there's 4 more bad coastlines in comparison. Also there are druggies everywhere these days try a day out in London where we are from a day is truly enough time to spend her. We chatted for ages to locals and holiday makers alike. We are actually planning to move down to Yarmouth so comments on where not to go if your a local would really be appreciated. Oh have you walked admiralty road to pass the original bankside art above the bus stop.

[@sharonellis8776]

Thanks for this. How could anyone vote it as a bad place ? Was here in early April, had a great time here ! xx

I love Yarmouth it’s my child holiday place and love going there still… Shame winter gardens closed it was awesome I met Jim and hit a photo with him years ago

[@mikeswift6713]

Another interesting walk and yes, I have been under that pier. I’ve been to Great Yarmouth twice both while sailing the Broads, the first time in 1964 with a pal, my family had dropped us off at Potter Higham to pick our boat up and continued to a hotel in the town to holiday with my aunt, uncle, cousin and her family who were also visiting. We moored on the river and met the family on the north side of the Britannia Pier, not an easy thing before mobile phones, I think we left a message at the hotel the day before. In 1991 I again went on the Broads this time with my wife and children, we sailed through Gt. Yarmouth but didn’t stop. I wasn’t impressed with the town, it looked a bit full of slot machine arcades and some slightly “worn” buildings.

[@chrisrobinson9178]

used to spend holiday here as a kid it's changed beach is wider and higher did not need all the distractions though straight out of the caravan on to the beach first thing in the morning and one or two shows at night.Last time i was there it was the middle of December a cold and empty place.

A bit further down form where you ended the Video You also missed the :- Waterways, (gardens and a winding river system that you can walk around.) The Boating Lake (where you can hire a peddalo or a row boat and spend some time on the water surrounded by more gardens and walkways) Also a long walk continued down the beach area, and just a little bit inland off the beaten tourist area, there is Great Yarmouth Racecourse (for horse racing when its on)... and on the outskirts of the town not far from there is the Greyhound and Banger racing track.

We have just come back from great Yarmouth and we have been the last few years. There was so few people about never known it so quiet even at weekends. It has a lot to offer with the seafront, hemsby and gorlston and the hippodrome puts on fantastic shows. We hired a boat on the Norfolk Broads. The only problem with seaside towns things can be expensive if there's a few of you especially ice creams, drinks and food along the seafront. And it was £4 just for chips at pleasure beach.

[@Starcry85]

I think it is a lovely place buuuut what doesn't help is the cash machines on the sea front. You get charged random amounts (ranges from £5 to £2.50) to withdraw you own money. If you don't want any charges you have to walk ALLLL the way into the town centre (Not sure if this has changed.) which is roughly a 20 odd minute walk? A lot of the games were rigged to the point where it was too obvious. The locals aren't exactly friendly either. But all those negatives aside - it is a nice place to go to.

Another great video neil, we off to looe and polperro in a week, what would you mark them out of 10?

[@GimbalWalkTV]

[@user-kn4cs6re9h]

I found Blackpool a worse spend time around the whole of Norfolk all year. Everybody like different things only time didn't like Yarmouth was when Seagul stole my bacon from my roll, and was freezing if Feb, otherwise love the people that live their,

[@ianrobert6239]

Are there many public conveniences there. Only most British seaside resorts have very few🙁

[@stevenroper2754]

I've been holidaying there since 1960, and I don't know what people are looking for. Admittedly the port area can be a bit daunting at night, but what port area isn't.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

True

[@4thEyeVision]

It's the best seaside town in UK. Good clikbait it worked on me i'm so mad and left a comment. Your channel is fab so i forgive you this time :)

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Hey it's not clickbait though! Which Magazine really did name it the fourth worst seaside!

[@alanagnew7090]

Been to Yarmouth on many a time be it for a holiday or the broads the last time was 2001 was very disappointing with the town. The old windmill theatre used to have big names i the day . Can’t say I’m impressed with what I’ve seen so far . Used to be so lovely along the front.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Bet the old theatre was great

[@alanagnew7090]

[@margaretharris1253]

It’s a lovely seaside town, I’m going in 2weeks time, I used to go as kid and teen with my late parents xx

[@TheBeardedAdventurer]

Used to be lovely... if you went here as a kid you probably went when it was great! Since 2000 it’s on a downward spiral

[@patriciasmith9254]

Went into sealive last week with family. Let's say I wouldn't go in again.

[@apems4676]

[@skernavagh]

[@GimbalWalkTV]

[@deecovell4439]

Last time I went to great barmouth was in 1958. Wow so long ago I was 7 years old.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Must have changed a little bit then?

[@offrampt]

It looks that the sun is splitting the flags.

[@GreatYarmouthbeach]

winter gardens was not run by jim davidson it was the wellington pier great video keep up the good work

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Ooops my mistake! Thanks for the info much appreciated!

[@bullmonkey]

Jim Davidson did run the Winter Gardens in the mid nineties as a night club. It was very unpopular with local people because they were routinely asked to leave because they knew the bar and door staff.

[@pearltreharne5385]

Great yarmouth has improved alot it has more rides and loads more to do

[@GimbalWalkTV]

True

[@joimes]

I’ll add this to my list of places never to visit. Thanks for the heads up.
