The Anchorage

Situated 5 miles north of Great Yarmouth right on the coast. On the doorstep of the Norfolk broads - Filby and Ormesby Broads, Norwich 15 miles and Cromer 30 miles. Beautifully refurbished house in a prime position. Ideal for holidays in Norfolk. Great Yarmouth Stadium has different evenings for Greyhound Racing and Stock-car/banger racing – my children love this, very noisy, great fun! Caister Castle is worth a visit, can do this in half a day, in my opinion, very own car collection if you are interested in cars. There are plenty of places to visit depending on the children’s ages Petits Animal Adventure Park, Church Road, Reedham, Norfolk book online you get discounted tickets. Open everyday, about 11 miles away. Market Days in Great Yarmouth are Wednesday and Saturday all year round. Ride the snails at Joyland, Great Yarmouth Sea Front, is a must, even for adults! Pleasurewood Hills further a field, if you are looking for adrenaline rollercoaster – Wipeout is the tallest, faster and most extreme rollercoaster in the East of England, apparently! At Great Yarmouth you have the Pleasure Beach where you can ride an old rickety wooden rollercoaster and there is a log flume, you will get wet if you go on! Bewilderwood 10 am – 5.30 p.m. is a fun day out, Sat Nav NR12 8JW, it is not cheap in my opinion. We always take plenty of drinks and a picnic. Take a lazy boat ride across the scary lake, brave the broken bridge, whizz down the wobbly wires and be baffled by the sky maze.

If the weather is good, you may just want to be on the beach, please take care, the rip tides of the sea are very dangerous. Our children swim, only under supervision of an adult- iniflatables get taken out very quickly. You can normally see seals swimming in the sea, so keep an eye out...
