Your Norfolk Adventure Starts Here

Great Yarmouth, with its golden sands and lively atmosphere, is a fantastic launchpad for a Norfolk adventure! And at the heart of it all is the St George Hotel, offering comfortable and affordable accommodation right in the centre of the action. Located at 7-10 Albert Square, we're just a stone's throw from the beach and opposite the iconic Wellington Pier. With free parking and free WiFi, your Norfolk holiday starts stress-free! Plus, with our proximity to key attractions like the Pleasure Beach (8-minute walk) and SEA LIFE Centre (3 minutes), you'll be perfectly positioned to make the most of your week.

Day 1: Great Yarmouth Delights

Start your holiday by exploring Great Yarmouth itself. Begin with a stroll along the beach, building sandcastles or simply enjoying the sea air. For thrill-seekers, the Pleasure Beach offers a range of rides and attractions. In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the underwater world at the SEA LIFE Centre. End the day with a traditional fish and chips dinner – several excellent options are within walking distance of the St George Hotel.

Day 2: Exploring the Norfolk Broads

No trip to Norfolk is complete without experiencing the Broads National Park. Just a short 3-mile drive from Great Yarmouth, you'll find yourself surrounded by tranquil waterways and stunning scenery. Hire a boat for the day from a local boatyard (Wroxham is a popular choice, about 30 minutes drive) and explore the interconnected rivers and lakes. Pack a picnic and enjoy lunch on board, or stop at one of the charming waterside pubs. Keep an eye out for the diverse wildlife that calls the Broads home!

Day 3: Coastal Charm: Cromer & Sheringham

Head north along the coast to discover the delightful towns of Cromer and Sheringham. Cromer is famous for its delicious crabs, so be sure to sample some! Explore the pier, visit the RNLI lifeboat station, or simply relax on the beach. Sheringham offers a more traditional seaside experience, with amusement arcades and a charming high street. The Poppy Line, a heritage steam railway, runs between Sheringham and Holt, providing a scenic journey through the countryside.

Day 4: History & Heritage: Norwich

Take a day trip to Norwich, the historic capital of Norfolk. Explore Norwich Cathedral, a magnificent example of Norman architecture. Visit Norwich Castle, which houses a museum and art gallery. Wander through the cobbled streets of the city centre, browsing the independent shops and cafes. Elm Hill is particularly picturesque. Norwich is easily accessible by car or train from Great Yarmouth.

Day 5: Sandringham Estate

Experience royal history with a visit to Sandringham Estate, the country retreat of the Royal Family. Explore the house, gardens, and museum, learning about the history of the estate. The estate is open to the public for much of the year. Allow around 1.5 hours driving time from Great Yarmouth. Afterwards, explore the nearby village of Sandringham itself which has a lovely church.

Day 6: Thetford Forest & Adventure

For a change of pace, head inland to Thetford Forest, a vast expanse of woodland offering a range of outdoor activities. Go for a walk or bike ride on the many trails, try Go Ape for a thrilling treetop adventure, or simply enjoy a picnic in the forest. Thetford Forest is about an hour's drive from Great Yarmouth.

Day 7: Relaxation & Departure

Enjoy a final day relaxing in Great Yarmouth. Perhaps revisit your favourite attraction, take a final stroll along the beach, or simply relax at the St George Hotel before heading home. With comfortable rooms, including Single (£46), Double/Twin (£50), Family (£75), and Quadruple (£85) options, each equipped with a TV, microwave, mini-fridge, and kettle, you'll have everything you need for a relaxing stay.
