Re: Norfolk Broads/Gt. Yarmouth
Lots of people like Gt Yarmouth for a cheesey holiday and what's wrong with that, such bloddy snobs on here at times. My kid's have been to a few places in the world that a lot of adults haven't and ask them where they want to holiday and suprise suprise they will tell you Hemsby / Gt Yarmouth. O.K it is not for everyone but it suits some.

Re: Norfolk Broads/Gt. Yarmouth
I ended up in Yarmouth a few years ago because Norwich was gridlocked so I detoured. Must say I had a really pleasant afternoon and a super fish and chips lunch at one of the fish shops on the front. They were building the wind farm at the time and I always mean to go back and have a look at how it turned out. Dont know that I would really want to spend more than a day there but as a different experience it was interesting.
I also had a day in Hunstanton on my last trip - probably also a "dump" in comparison with the GC or other Aus beach but we had a ball along with the thousands of others that thronged the front. My gd had her first ever pony ride and was in her element - even tried cockles (at 19 months I was a bit anxious but she preferred them to prawns!). It may sound naff but it was fun - there was so much lightness and enjoyment from everyone else who took the sunshine to head to the seaside that it made for a lovely day. I couldnt have stayed a week but the day was just fine.
