Used to have our 2 week summer hols there as a kid in the 70s Yarmouth was really busy then. We went back last year and was a bit disappointed as the place has clearly gone down hill, It seems to be a bit of forgotten place. Glad your review was positive and upbeat, well done.
Cool to see Great Yarmouth finally. When I used to work for Shell (actually a subcontractor called AJS) to support the oil and gas platforms in the north sea we had daily contact with our colleagues in Great Yarmouth from both Den Helder and Leiden. From Great Yarmouth the oil platforms are supported and the gas comes in from the North Sea.
Love Yarmouth been going there since childhood. The pier did used to go over the sea but not anymore. Regents road is a little aladdin’s cave of shops both great and not so much. Now take my children and have a fun time. You should try Hemsby another lovely little seaside place or Cromer.
Pleasurewood Hills? Thats in Lowestoft, Suffolk, Mate. And the seaside theme in Lowestoft is on a much smaller scale than Yarmouth Yarmouth is what it is. Love it
@@MoreKevinChapman I moved away from Lowestoft about 3 years ago. I had to drive my mum to and from work in Yarmouth quite a lot and i wish it had been 15 minutes. It's closer to 30
I went there once as a kid in the 70's and we had masses of green flies. I'd never seen anything like it, we were covered walking around. Seems like the bugs enjoy Gt Yarmouth anyway 🤣
I moved to yarmouth 2 years ago, Great place, unfortunately (as I found out after being made redundant 3 months ago from my work at home job) there is no decent jobs on offer, just seasonal and retail. Cost of living here is pretty cheap at least, and the council are always putting something on for free, e.g. festivals and firework displays
We was there in September (8th to the 22nd it was brilliant we had a fantastic caravan at seashore holiday park.and not far from the beach and sea. Really nice soft sand and the taxis was very good and cheap go down reagent road plenty of gift shops and lots of cafes. You will love every second of your day
Great Yarmouth is the best never mind the rest. We will be coming back next year and staying at seashore holiday park we really love great Yarmouth the place is brilliant. Fantastic. Gorgeous place for a 2 week holiday
I love this part of the country and have been going there since I was a kid and still visit a couple of times a year now. Beach walks with that lovely sea air,fish and chips,arcades the list goes on. The hippodrome is where they have the circus shows and the sea did used to come under the pier as I can remember it from years past. Great video and definitely a thumbs up and glad you enjoyed your visit.
The Winter Gardens havre just had a £12m investment allotted for refurbishment. Its the oldest winter garden's in the world! The model village had a Banksy, he came and placed a piece in there in secret. It was awesome! Busy Street is the best place ever. Love GY. Stay every year ❤ The motherland!
Do you have a spare battery for the mobility scooter? If not maybe good idea for hilly areas that zap the battery or longer days out, or look into customising the scooter with a folding detachable solar battery for sunny days so it can charge on the move if installed correctly even on over cast days with limited natural light
If you like beaches, tacky arcades, and free parking, then Gorleston is far better than Yarmouth. Has less arcades ad Shops though. It does however have a Banksy! Glad you had a good time!
I haven't been back to Great Yarmouth since the Summer of 1999, sadly. My family and I enjoyed our annual holidays there but as our family fell apart, our holidays were obviously the first casualty. I wish we could've moved there from London but it was not to be. 🤨
Why not now? I moved up from London in 2014 ane never looked back 2bh. It can get dull but sell your house in london and find something 4 times the size up here. If you rent, get more for your money. I let a bedroom in London for 900 a month, here thats a three bed house with a garden
@@shayZero Sorry, only just saw this video again... Yes VC my daughter and I rent from a housing association here in South East London...and am now disabled, and neither my daughter or I drive...plus I need to be pushed in my wheelchair so luggage etc would be a bit of a nightmare. It's all 'castles in the air' / 'pipe dreams' re holidays anywhere since my marriages failed. (I haven't been on holiday since 1999, though my daughter has been to Scotland with her Dad & stepmum, but they've now moved out of London so those holidays are over now too - as she cannot just walk up the road to their flat to see them at any time that suits her.) So I just watch other people reacting to their holiday reviews now instead of enjoying my own visits. 🤨
I use a DJI Mini on a long selfie stick. The creator kit comes with a wireless mic that is really really good, best mic I’ve ever used for vlogging. Having spent thousands on cameras and kit over the last 6-7 years, this less than £500 setup is the best I’ve come across.
You missed a trick. There's a cheap burger place on the shop street where you can buy a burger for £1.50 (not entirely sure if the price) but it's cheap
GT Yarmouth is a good time, they have mini golf X2 and they have a cool arcade with loads of games, one of which is basketball connect 4, that's really fun to play!
I remember that street when I was a kid, allways full of England and union jack flags. I remember buying a big Rambo knife from one of the shops it had a survival kit in the handle .I was only a nipper and they sold us them lol.
Britania pier was always the same length but the sea used to come up higher (more sand built up there now which is a constantly changing situation there) meaning the end of the pier was going out into the sea. They used to have fast boat rides off the end of the pier back in the 90s.
you mentioned the joke shop at hunstanton! i was a huge indiana jones fan as a kid and i bought a joke whip from there not really realising the other more inappropriate uses. my parents hated the thing and didn't like me bringing it to the woods when we went for a walk, it soon went missing, found it in a drawer years later, i can only imagine what people thought!
Lol but as a child it was innocent enough wasn't it? I'm sure you see the funny side of it now, i know i did reading what you put. I'm sure your parents had a quiet laugh about it on the quiet.
I loved Great Yarmouth as a kid, was there every year especially Gorleston we used tonsit on harbour wall for hours and watch the big boats sail in and out. As with most seaside towns and the world we live in now it has sadly depreciated. I went back to Yarmouth around 10 years ago to see how much it had changed and I was so saddened to see the state of some places there. I still have my childhood memories though and i treasure them.
High unemployment, high rates of teenage pregnancy, low levels of academic achievement, plus it's a seasonal seaside town. That's a recipe for massive economic deprivation! I work with a lot of people who were born in Yarmouth (I live and work in Norwich) who have all said the same thing 'If you have any talent or ability then you get of there as soon as possible'!
Well I went all the time in the 90s as a kid an I thought it was the bollocks. Working class people in this part of the country this was the only holiday we got and I for one am quite grateful.
I can think of plenty of places worse than Yarmouth. I had loadscof holidays there. You have to go in the season. The atmosphere is completely different. When you get hot weather that beach is excellent for a good tan. I really miss it. Bridlington is the worst ive ever been to.
30-40 years ago the Pier used to be in the sea(I used to fish from it), personally I think this is why Hemsby is being allowed to go to waste, redirecting the sea from there will re-introduce water to Britannia Pier and it couldn't cope with it unless there were a hell of a lot of money spent on upgrades and repairs.
As many people in their 50's would say, yep...kids holiday destination and Blackpool. I took my kids there 3 years ago and I was surprised what a dump Gt Yarmouth is, trapped in time.
As someone who grew up going to great yarmouth every year, i believe that during summer it really does live up to its name. And anyone who thinks overwise is clearly a karen who needs to lower their standards.
I found adam and the ants paperback 1981, in yarmouth 1986 love the nice things you can find there, such as your pokerman cards its a great place don't knock it.
Great video of Gt Yarmouth, memoried as kid, teenager to adult who lived at back of seafront and worked Birds Eye and Brown and Root Eng in 1970s....brilliant place to be. Its what families want in holiday with Norfolk Broads few miles easy drive to. Oasis Tower was where rock/pop/soul groups played in ballroom, great Disco on mid floor at Cleos, ice ring on lower level. Drama and rock/pop groups at Windmill Theatre.....seaside shows at piers and large cinemas....great atmosphere 1970s
Live down the road from Yarmouth, and there's no doubt - it's seen better days like all seaside towns in the UK - but it still provides a good traditional day out during the summer months :)
Haven't been to Great Yarmouth for over 20 years, used to love going there when on holiday in Norfolk.. My kids used to call the main street that leads to the seafront 'crap street' lol.
Cromer is more classy and nicer Gy has gone down the pan. But still remind me of caravan holiday with my family when I was a kid lol I still like Gy regardless
Great Yarmouth is the only place I've visited in the UK that I vowed never to return to. Whilst the beach is impressive, the "architecture " opposite & around it is ugly, even derelict in places. Found the resort grim, depressing & unsafe. I think it has the highest violent crime rate in Norfolk. It makes Blackpool look like paradise.
@@joeo1725 I live here and won't go out after dark. The violent crime here has accelerated at a frightening rate. I use to love the place (moved here 1981) can't wait to move out of the town now.
Having lived in Yarmouth for 22 years beginning in 2001, I can confirm that it is nothing more than one big oppressive cloud of gloom and depression. The streets are filthy, the shops are all the same and 50% of them are now gone anyway as no one can afford to pay the ridiculous rental prices for them, and the people are just downright rude. The leaflets advertising the town do not show the gutters and rivers so full of rubbish, even poop, nor do they talk about the gulls that leave you bloodied and bruised just because there might have been a chance to steal a chip or two clean out of your hands. They don't show the homelessness problem which is horrific and they certainly don't invite you to live there because there are no jobs. If you're just visiting for a weekend, okay sure, it'd be an interesting, eye opening weekend, but in all, as other commenters have said, it really is Not-So-Great Yarmouth, affectionally known by the locals as one of the biggest shitholes in the UK.
I was there on my family vacation staying at Vauxhall holiday park that’s got very warm cosy luxury lodges, we stayed for 7 days during the summer school holidays it’s literally a 5 minute drive from Vauxhall we were pretty much doing a beach detour in the car at Gorleston beach Great Yarmouth it’s such a great seaside town extremely touristy, on the quieter warmer sunny days it’s better which is awesome rather than actually being on the busy hectic days that’s totally rammed gives your more direct access to the attractions especially with a walk ons instead the long tedious waiting queuing times
I like Yarmouth - Pirates Cove is great and the best crazy golf I have ever seen. Great ice cream along the promenade, lovely sandy beach. Sure, there are a few skanks there, but overall it is great for a trip. I saw Robin Hood Prince of thieves in the Ark cinema! 1990!

Do not go to Harry Ramsden's as it is shit, instead go to the market (in the town not near the seafront) and select something as it's cheaper better and more choice.
Definitely not the worst.TBH It's the best about the Suffolk Norfolk area. I mean Felixstowe you come home from there far more depressed than you were before. Clacton on sewage, I mean sea. A s hole.
when i lived in lowestoft i liked to go down to southwold. wouldn't have liked it when i was younger as it would have been too quiet but I definitely couldn't be described as young anymore 😂
The Winter Gardens has been closed for years, but it has received lottery funding to be renovated.
I quite like Great Yarmouth. The only part I didn’t like was the shopping centre at the end of the high street that was grim.
It still is!
The crazy golfers were not happy 😂😂

Squashing coins???...never heard of it🤔🎩
Love the place, you should also go Banger racing which is a great nights entertainment.
Great Yarmouth is pretty good - compared to Skegness it’s Las Vegas
In the 60s it was almost impossible to get a space on that beach
Went to caister as a kid in late 70s thought ok then.blackpool worse place for me.hen parties stag dos and streets around beeches are rough

Having visited Skegness for the first and last time a couple of years ago and working in Gt Yarmouth at times, Skegness is worse, but only marginally.
Lots of drugs and violence that most nostalgic holiday makers won’t come across.
at least it looks like a seaside town unlike margate that has lost the seaside look and feeling.
Amazing vid kev and Those Pokémon cards are legit and the price is about right
Two weeks, and we will be in yarmouth 😊 love the place and already booked in at the circus 😅
The sea has receded over the years.
I can remember the sea being under it in the '80s.
From Google Maps, it seems to have abated around 2005 or so.
Even the sea doesn't want to go to Yarcoland
The pleasure beach and pier are one huge facade to the real Yarmouth, grotty nasty back streets with nothing good going down amongst them
Do not go to Harry Ramsden's as it is shit, instead go to the market (in the town not near the seafront) and select something as it's cheaper better and more choice.
Outer harbor strange shoreline,the sea came in a lot more
