Great Yarmouth is a wonderful town to explore on foot. With miles of sandy beaches, a vibrant seafront promenade and fascinating heritage trails, walkers of all abilities will find plenty to enjoy.

Seafront Promenade

The broad promenade stretches the full length of the Golden Mile, from Wellington Pier in the south to Britannia Pier in the north. It is flat, accessible and perfect for a leisurely stroll with views out to sea. Continue north beyond the piers for quieter stretches towards Caister-on-Sea.
