About

Great Yarmouth district sits on the east Norfolk coast where the River Yare flows into the North Sea. The borough includes the town of Great Yarmouth with its seafront, piers and the Golden Mile of promenades, alongside inland parishes such as Caister-on-Sea and Bradwell. Maritime history is visible in the old harbour infrastructure and at the Time and Tide Museum, which occupies a former herring curing works and explains the town’s fishing past. Narrow historic alleyways known locally as the Rows run behind the main streets, surviving from the medieval layout of the port quarter.

The district also contains wide coastal margins of dunes, salt marsh and the tidal Breydon Water estuary, important for birdlife and local drainage. The Port of Great Yarmouth handles commercial shipping and provides a base for North Sea gas-support vessels and service craft for offshore wind projects such as Scroby Sands. Sea defences, harbour engineering and a mix of tourism, fisheries and energy-related activity shape land use across the district.
