Haven Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This historic lifting bridge dates back to 1930 and is still in regular use to allow boats from the North Sea into the harbour. Only the latest iteration, there have been multiple prior bridges crossing at the same point.

If you’re lucky, you might get to see the bridge rise and settle back down, something which does not always work on the first attempt; it's renowned for not going back into place perfectly. A magnificent bridge, it was once the only place to cross and thus heavily congested. Still busy, the load had been lightened somewhat by the opening of Breydon Bridge in the 80s.

Great Yarmouth Minster

Highlight • Historical Site

Great Yarmouth Minster is the third largest parish church in England, due to its floor surface area. Founded in 1101, many restorations through the centuries have gradually changed the building. The church has some very impressive stained glass windows, too.

Great Yarmouth Boating Lake

Highlight • Lake

It is nice to see a boating lake, and it would be nice to see it in the summer with people using it, from he Waterways website :
The Venetian Waterways and Boating Lake have been an integral part of Great Yarmouth’s seafront landscape since their construction in the 1920s. Situated at the northern end of Marine Parade, the Boating Lake was first opened in 1926, followed by the Venetian Waterways in 1928 – designed by S. P. Thompson and built as part of a relief work scheme for the local unemployed after the First World War.T

Great Yarmouth Beach and Britannia Pier

Highlight • Beach

Great Yarmouth is a bustling seaside destination on the Norfolk coastline. Famous for its long and pristine beach the ‘Golden Mile’, the town also boasts a further 15 miles (24 km) of sandy beach and plenty of historic sites. There is lots of beautiful countryside to explore in the area, including the wildlife-rich marshes around Breydon Water.

Lord Nelson Monument

Highlight • Monument

An interesting monument dedicated to Lord Nelson, there are information plaques around the monument. Located in the middle of an Industrial estate which is unusual and the Britannia figure at the top points into land not sea.

Herring Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A new bridge (Feb2024) from the port area of Great Yarmouth saves traveling back up the estuary while walking the coast. It is a twin-leaf bascule bridge that cost £121 million to build. On my walk it opened and close very quickly, impressive.
