Gorleston West

Gorleston West is a residential area situated on the southern side of the River Yare, forming part of the wider Great Yarmouth borough. The neighbourhood is characterised by a mix of housing, including Victorian terraces and more modern developments, set along a network of streets that slope gently towards the riverside. Its layout provides a direct connection to the working waterfront and industrial estates that define this part of the estuary, offering a practical and unpretentious environment for its residents.

The area provides essential local amenities and green spaces, with the expansive Gorleston Golf Course acting as a significant green buffer to the south. A notable feature is the presence of the large Outer Harbour, a major commercial port whose operations are a constant backdrop to daily life. Life here is closely tied to the practical rhythms of the river and port, rather than the traditional seaside attractions found further east.
