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 👍
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 🥰
Having Agarophbia for over 20 years and not being able to go anywhere I love watching your video's. The quality is fantastic thank you so very much for sharing and taking time to visit all these places. Xxxxxx
Thanks Dee - that's just made my day. I've got some great ones coming up for you too - stay tuned! And most importantly have a great week and stay safe x
Keep well Dee. Don't give up. I have made it to my letter box. I have a good counsellor who sets achievable goals & is kinder than me when I feel bad. We can travel without getting wet & windblown. See you on the next video.
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.
GREAT YARMOUTH | The fourth WORST seaside in the UK? 0740am 14.6.23 as some old uni folks know - i also have a sot spot for Yarmouth as i do all holiday resorts...... the beach even reaches to the sea!!!! by al means do your town down but not seaside resorts... which is what i should be doin'... gettin' out to the seaside in this weather...
We went there last year, first time in years and we where impressed, lovely beach, lots of places to visit and shops. Nice park. We will visit again when we can.
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. And try Gorleston down the road; the beach is stupendous; greyhound racing at Caister, too. Yarmouth? Superb place
Living in Norwich, Gt Yarmouth was always the place to go for some childhood fun. The sea front is as good as any mass tourism resport in the UK. The areas around the harbour are abit rough, but most tourists don't see that part..
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?
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 RUclips. It is owned by Peter Jay and used to be owned by his late father, Jack Jay.
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.
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!!
Iv have a chalet up here i think it's a dam good town the people who av put this on do not know any thing about the town . Come up and see for your selves it's thriving .
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.
Lived in yarmouth between 2010 and 2017 on and off. Loved it and never had any bother. Love Norfolk and Suffolk , living in Staffordshire now...miss those days though.
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
So many happy memories of going on holiday there as a child & taking my two sons too. We used to stay in nearby Hemsby, it was a lovely little seaside place too xx
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.
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. Nice vid
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....
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.
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
being a poor soldier in the sixtys i spent my honeymoon in yarmouth.had a great time at the regent hotel in regent road saw Freddie and the dreamers brings back so many memories.
Super video !!! I think its one of the best seaside resorts in the uk...No way one of the worst ! Btw its the 5th most popular resort in the uk ! That cant be bad.
The windmill used to be The Windmill Theatre. In the hay day had loads of famous acts there! My Nan used to live at the back of the theatre and we would wait there to get autographs.
The log flume has now been removed. It's a shame that was a fun ride. Yarmouth sea front is good. But regants road and the top of the town is poor. Looks untidy shops that have closed down. 🐕🐾🐾🇬🇧
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 :)
The trainers are only white cos they've been in the washing machine so many times now ha ha! I'll give the Sealife centre a go then - always wondered what they were like
@@GimbalWalkTV how can great yarmouth be 4th worst holiday town in UK Worng its great place to visit so why you titled 4th worst holiday place in UK whe n it clearly is not from the videos for me it's better than blackpool and eastbroine get a grip
The Sailors home Also used to be a Maritime Museum untill it moved to a different location in the town. 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.
Thank you so much! Don't worry about liking or commenting - I guess if you are forgetting that means I'm doing a good job with the video and keeping it interesting!
Went there as a child in the 80s..lovely memories there with my parents going on the tubs in Joyland with my dad and the snails with my mum..Parents both gone now so was lovely to see the place and envoke some lovely memories. Sad to see they still have the horses pulling carriages all day long though and the donkeys 😢😢
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.
No way is 4h worst. It has an historic circus with water feature, everything a seaside resort should have with shops, bar's, amusements and eateries plus some really nice restaurants ( not fast food) a lovely child's funfair Joyland built just after the war and Pleasure Beach . The wonderfully restored Venician waterways and boating lake. It has a race course,.dog track and Banger racing. Summer shows and a lovely beach.
in the 80s, the windmill building use to be called "Wally's Windmill" and was a soft indoor play area for kids, brilliant when you're 5, went there for a friend's birthday party back in the day. Sad to see the state of it now and no I wouldn't go on the Sling Shot! lol! They have the same acts on year after year at the Britannia Pier, same old comedians, they had the Chuckle Brothers on there every season until one of them passed. I go to Yarmouth at least once every 2 years or so, need to do a vlog there as I haven't been since 2018, covid put paid to my regular visits
I love Yarmouth , a favourite holiday and day trip place as a boy many years ago now lol . I must pop back again soon . I love Norfolk . A great video . 😄😄
used to go as a kid ever year went a couple of years ago with my wife daughter and grandson loved the beech plenty to do but a big but my wife is in a wheelchair and disabled access was horrendous into restaurants and other places spoiled the few days we were there travelling from Doncaster
Lived there for 6 months on the North Quay and I actually quite liked it even though Yarco is a bit run down. GYB have now ruined the market. It's last place in Norfolk I would go for a day out though especially when there is Cromer, Sheringham and Wells next- the-sea. I will say though Yarmouth stadium on a Saturday night greyhound racing is good night out.
great video Neil we holiday there for five years on the trot before the pandemic boy's love it great beaches and the afternoon tea at merrivale r fantastic always plenty to do
Wow. Great Yarmouth is the best never mind the rest.Love great Yarmouth I'm going there In September the 23 rd to the 30 of September if I could I would live there forever and ever. Looking forward to seashore holiday park just let's hope the weather is going to be nice for us
Wow really enjoyed this one ,like you i dont do piers when you can see the sand or sea below you ,also when i saw people on the sand in bare feet it gave me the heebie jeebies ,unfortunatley i dont do sand or walking on grass bare footed or even sitting on either ,but i love the seaside guess im just strange ,anyhow thanks for a lovely day out in Great Yarmouth ,
I don't know who voted Great Yarmouth the fourth worst sea side town. Been there about 5 times in the last two years and it's been a pleasure even through and after covid. Can't wait for my next trip 👌🏽
Outstanding. Fantastic. Gorgeous. Brilliant. Place great Yarmouth is. Your filming is out of this world. I really did injoy every second of your wonderful filming. And the information I did get from your video was so very helpful thank you!!! The weather did look very warm or even hot. Once again fantastic. Brilliant gorgeous talented filming a big thank you and that I my real name Elvis Presley
@@GimbalWalkTV I'm glad you did like on what I said about your filming and the tour of great Yarmouth sea front bloody brilliant was it hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥 that day? And the music at the end very brilliant
@@GimbalWalkTV no problems. Will you film near seashore holiday park? In your next one I can then see what seashore holiday park is really like? Thanks
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.
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.
Hey Great Yarmouth People did you notice like a few Months the Sea was like different Colour like most of the times . Did you Notice that the Sea now is Blue I do believe that is a Miracle from God and at the same time a Blessing 🙏🙏🙏 . What about you what are you Thoughts and your Opinion about it . Leave your Comments below.
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.
The windmill In great Yarmouth was a theater we went to see a live show of love thy neighbor back in 1975 and the windmill went round Day and night we have been nine time's over the years and Yes it was better back in the day
@@GimbalWalkTV I love it... parents always took me as a child and now nearly 40 I go at least once a year.... also alot of money has been spent in recent years improving it 👍
how its changed , it was number one place when i was a kid . it was so nice then. its not like it used to be altered so much for the worst. dont think i will go back again. i was there 15 years ago and counld not wait to get away from it . sadly.
I certainly think this is cleaner than some other places I’ve been to. We went here last year (watching your previous video had helped) and are due there again this weekend. I hope you left some blue skies for us 😊 I must have completely blanked out the log flume last year, I didn’t remember half the stuff in the 1st part of the video 😂 I defo remember the mini golf I played though. That tea room was packed and we went somewhere else, may try again this year. The old penny arcade was my favourite, I hope it’s still 12 coins for £1😬 they cost a fortune in flea markets. It certainly seems to have opened up in the last 12 months. Your video really got me in the mood for the seaside.I missed the music until it came on later. Great video, keep on walking 😀
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,
Hey Gimble amazing videos just found you and love it all I'm from great yarmouth if you ever want a collab let me know I sea fish not far from where your video starts hope to cat you my neck of the woods soon. Much respect TheWolfPackAdventures.
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.
i live in great yarmouth not far from the pleasure beach sometimes have a wander and have an ice cream even a bite to eat did have a high tea at buddys which was lovely there is plenty for everyone dont know why they saying its the 4th worse in the uk waterways looks lovely and the boating lake since getting the lottery grant also love the hippodrome seen a few shows there and loved showaddywaddy at brittania pier

We agree!
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. And try Gorleston down the road; the beach is stupendous; greyhound racing at Caister, too.
Yarmouth? Superb place
Well said -fully agree with that
I live here . Originally from London, I love 💕 Great Yarmouth.🇧🇧🇬🇧💕
YOU SAID EVERYTHING I WAS THINKING AND GREAT LITTLE RACECOURSE I ALWAYS TRAVEL FROM WAKEFIELD WISH IT WAS NEARER LOVE YARMOUTH 4TH WORST MY A_ _ E
Great Yarmouth has been my life for 16 years now, I love it, My place that I finally feel free
Great walk lovely to see so many people having fun. Can’t understand what some people want from a place? Keep on walking 🚶🏻👍❤️
It's lovely in Yarmouth.. It's very quiet during the winter but me and my kids love it there. A lot more to do than in Lowestoft. Hello from Suffolk
Living in Norwich, Gt Yarmouth was always the place to go for some childhood fun. The sea front is as good as any mass tourism resport in the UK. The areas around the harbour are abit rough, but most tourists don't see that part..
True
Can’t understand the fourth worst ranking. It looked lovely. Very clean, lots of flowers, seemed very family oriented with lots to do.
You don’t live here to understand! Haha
@@TheBeardedAdventurer tbf the front is alright, as you go further back from the sea that’s where it’s bad
Nope it can be bad if the workers dont do there job lol
I’ve been here so good
I appreciate you saying that as I like near by and it's not that bad. Its quite nice

It says on the front of the video the fourth worst holiday town
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 :)
The trainers are only white cos they've been in the washing machine so many times now ha ha!
I'll give the Sealife centre a go then - always wondered what they were like
@@GimbalWalkTV how can great yarmouth be 4th worst holiday town in UK Worng its great place to visit so why you titled 4th worst holiday place in UK whe n it clearly is not from the videos for me it's better than blackpool and eastbroine get a grip
The Sailors home Also used to be a Maritime Museum untill it moved to a different location in the town.
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.
Thank you 🙏
I did the waterways In my other video / it’s lovely!
I think the term "The 4th worst seaside in the UK" is regarding the town or borough as a whole and not just the beach area.
Ok
Love your walks. Watch alot but forget to like and comment. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Don't worry about liking or commenting - I guess if you are forgetting that means I'm doing a good job with the video and keeping it interesting!
Went there as a child in the 80s..lovely memories there with my parents going on the tubs in Joyland with my dad and the snails with my mum..Parents both gone now so was lovely to see the place and envoke some lovely memories. Sad to see they still have the horses pulling carriages all day long though and the donkeys 😢😢
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.
True
No way is 4h worst. It has an historic circus with water feature, everything a seaside resort should have with shops, bar's, amusements and eateries plus some really nice restaurants ( not fast food) a lovely child's funfair Joyland built just after the war and Pleasure Beach . The wonderfully restored Venician waterways and boating lake. It has a race course,.dog track and Banger racing. Summer shows and a lovely beach.
Great for kids summer holidays never been but looks fab
Definitely
in the 80s, the windmill building use to be called "Wally's Windmill" and was a soft indoor play area for kids, brilliant when you're 5, went there for a friend's birthday party back in the day. Sad to see the state of it now and no I wouldn't go on the Sling Shot! lol! They have the same acts on year after year at the Britannia Pier, same old comedians, they had the Chuckle Brothers on there every season until one of them passed. I go to Yarmouth at least once every 2 years or so, need to do a vlog there as I haven't been since 2018, covid put paid to my regular visits
I love Yarmouth , a favourite holiday and day trip place as a boy many years ago now lol . I must pop back again soon . I love Norfolk . A great video . 😄😄
Thanks Brian!
used to go as a kid ever year went a couple of years ago with my wife daughter and grandson loved the beech plenty to do but a big but my wife is in a wheelchair and disabled access was horrendous into restaurants and other places spoiled the few days we were there travelling from Doncaster
Lived there for 6 months on the North Quay and I actually quite liked it even though Yarco is a bit run down. GYB have now ruined the market. It's last place in Norfolk I would go for a day out though especially when there is Cromer, Sheringham and Wells next- the-sea. I will say though Yarmouth stadium on a Saturday night greyhound racing is good night out.
great video Neil we holiday there for five years on the trot before the pandemic boy's love it great beaches and the afternoon tea at merrivale r fantastic always plenty to do
Agreed Mick
I've not been in Merrivale yet but will try it on my next trip there now
Great we love the beach a lovely walk and the gran kids love it
Well said
Wow. Great Yarmouth is the best never mind the rest.Love great Yarmouth I'm going there In September the 23 rd to the 30 of September if I could I would live there forever and ever. Looking forward to seashore holiday park just let's hope the weather is going to be nice for us
I remember going to the Windmill Theatre many years ago to see the singer Clodagh Rogers.
Wow bet that was great!
geat vidio i love watching all your vidios keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Wow really enjoyed this one ,like you i dont do piers when you can see the sand or sea below you ,also when i saw people on the sand in bare feet it gave me the heebie jeebies ,unfortunatley i dont do sand or walking on grass bare footed or even sitting on either ,but i love the seaside guess im just strange ,anyhow thanks for a lovely day out in Great Yarmouth ,
the sand is cleaned regularly by the council, at least twice a week during the height of the season, they rake it over with tractors.
Another great video neil, we off to looe and polperro in a week, what would you mark them out of 10?
Oh my word I'm jealous. They're amazing. Looe I need to visit again before scoring but Polperro is a definite 10!
Most people only see the kitsch side of GY, but it has much to interest the serious Historian, not least the remains of the medieval walls!
I’d love to explore it more
A great & fantastic video of
GREAT YARMOUTH | The fourth WORST seaside in the UK?👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Michael!
I love Great Yarmouth, because it’s where my Nan and grandad took me when I was a child, good memories🥺😢👦🏻👵🏻👴🏻❤️
❤️❤️❤️
I can't understand why it's been given a bad rating great seaside town I lived near great Yarmouth for ll years plenty of attractions great beaches ⛱
Bang on!
I don't know who voted Great Yarmouth the fourth worst sea side town. Been there about 5 times in the last two years and it's been a pleasure even through and after covid. Can't wait for my next trip 👌🏽
Theres far worse, I guess its click bait
Outstanding. Fantastic. Gorgeous. Brilliant. Place great Yarmouth is. Your filming is out of this world. I really did injoy every second of your wonderful filming. And the information I did get from your video was so very helpful thank you!!! The weather did look very warm or even hot. Once again fantastic. Brilliant gorgeous talented filming a big thank you and that I my real name Elvis Presley
Wow thank you!
@@GimbalWalkTV I'm glad you did like on what I said about your filming and the tour of great Yarmouth sea front bloody brilliant was it hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥 that day? And the music at the end very brilliant
@@elvispresley2599 Thank you my friend! I really do appreciate your support
@@GimbalWalkTV no problems. Will you film near seashore holiday park? In your next one I can then see what seashore holiday park is really like? Thanks
Ok by whose opinion ? We go e wry year and love it ! Each to their own
Which Magazine - they get it wrong every year
Are there many public conveniences there. Only most British seaside resorts have very few🙁
You should give Merrivale a try its fun we visited on our visit, and there is also an arcade of very vintage arcade machine of all types.
Thanks Cliff - I'll definitely nip in on my next trip!
I live near Yarmouth and in the summer it's a lovely beach I would happily go there for a day out
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.
True
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.
Bet the old theatre was great
@@GimbalWalkTV it sure was they used to show films as well
The last time l was in great yarmouth was in 1982. So much have changed since..i quite like the place..
It's fab!
Hey Great Yarmouth People did you notice like a few Months the Sea was like different Colour like most of the times . Did you Notice that the Sea now is Blue I do believe that is a Miracle from God and at the same time a Blessing 🙏🙏🙏 . What about you what are you Thoughts and your Opinion about it . Leave your Comments below.
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.
Agreed
The windmill In great Yarmouth was a theater we went to see a live show of love thy neighbor back in 1975 and the windmill went round Day and night we have been nine time's over the years and Yes it was better back in the day
Gt. Yarmouth is my 2nd home!!
Great place!
@@GimbalWalkTV I love it... parents always took me as a child and now nearly 40 I go at least once a year.... also alot of money has been spent in recent years improving it 👍
@@zululoz Yes I heard it was over 50 million or something? (I could be wrong?)
I hope they get the Winter Gardens open again
I been to Yarmouth and it’s a lovely place I love it so how can u say it’s the worst when clearly it’s not if u have been
Agreed!
A lot of work has been/being done on Britannia now lookin good
Ah nice - I'm due back there soon
I've been in far worse places than great yarmouth, so I don't see how it was ranked 4th worst unless the Winter Gardens was why
True
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 :)
Hey it's not clickbait though! Which Magazine really did name it the fourth worst seaside!
Another place I used to go with my grandparents a lot when I was a kid I loved it there when I was a kid.
Fab seaside!
how its changed , it was number one place when i was a kid . it was so nice then. its not like it used to be altered so much for the worst. dont think i will go back again. i was there 15 years ago and counld not wait to get away from it . sadly.
Oh no!
I certainly think this is cleaner than some other places I’ve been to. We went here last year (watching your previous video had helped) and are due there again this weekend. I hope you left some blue skies for us 😊 I must have completely blanked out the log flume last year, I didn’t remember half the stuff in the 1st part of the video 😂 I defo remember the mini golf I played though. That tea room was packed and we went somewhere else, may try again this year. The old penny arcade was my favourite, I hope it’s still 12 coins for £1😬 they cost a fortune in flea markets. It certainly seems to have opened up in the last 12 months. Your video really got me in the mood for the seaside.I missed the music until it came on later. Great video, keep on walking 😀
Last time I went to great barmouth was in 1958. Wow so long ago I was 7 years old.
Must have changed a little bit then?
“Upon the whole, the finest place in the universe”
love yarmouth
Same!
Ah the Barking Smack and Tony still there behind the bar brings back memories of Great Yarmouth
👍👍👍
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,
Went into sealive last week with family. Let's say I wouldn't go in again.
Wow wonderfull tour
Thank you
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
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
The fact Redcar isnt on the list proves its not worth much....
😮😮🤣🤣
Hey Gimble amazing videos just found you and love it all I'm from great yarmouth if you ever want a collab let me know I sea fish not far from where your video starts hope to cat you my neck of the woods soon. Much respect TheWolfPackAdventures.
Yes let’s do it - that would be fab!
Sorry been going since I was two love it there ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍👍❤️
1:18 pleasure beach not leisure land
Thank you 🙏
40 years ago yes.
Nice😃👌🏾
Thanks! 😃
I can tell why its the 4th worst seaside! Absolutely horrible.
winter gardens was not run by jim davidson it was the wellington pier great video keep up the good work
Ooops my mistake! Thanks for the info much appreciated!
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.
i live in great yarmouth not far from the pleasure beach sometimes have a wander and have an ice cream even a bite to eat did have a high tea at buddys which was lovely there is plenty for everyone dont know why they saying its the 4th worse in the uk waterways looks lovely and the boating lake since getting the lottery grant also love the hippodrome seen a few shows there and loved showaddywaddy at brittania pier
Well said!
I want to see Showaddywaddy!
The Sea Life stuff is boring unless you swim with the Sharks ! 😂🤣😄And ...No sling shot for me !
Yeah I definitely dont' want to be swimming with the sharks! 🤣
Great yarmouth has improved alot it has more rides and loads more to do
True
