Elizabethan House Museum

Great Yarmouth's heritage and history. Housed in a converted Victorian herring curing works.

The Great Yarmouth Cycle Map has several routes of between 7 and 16 miles to neighbouring villages covering various subjects. 4 miles from the town hall is Burgh Castle, a 3rd-century Roman fort with a good view. Lowestoft is 10 miles away along the coast and an off-road trail, passing quaint Gorleston, atmospheric St Margaret's ruined church and Ness Point, the easternmost point of Britain.

Dubbed one of the 7 wonders of the British Seaside, The Hippodrome hosts spectacular circus shows of international quality within a building of great beauty and heritage. Not to be missed!

For a more cultured diversion, take a 1-hour self-guided walking tour along supposedly the best preserved medieval town wall after York's, with 11 surviving towers along a 1.3-mile route passing through residential, ecclesiastical, commercial and industrial areas from the North West Tower by the river at the end of Rampart Road to the Blackfriars Tower on Mariners Road. The most impressive section with the five-storey South East Tower is along Blackfriars Road between the latter and St Spyridon church.
