Guided Heritage Walks exploring Great Yarmouth

Unfortunately, Covid-19 restrictions prevented the Heritage Guided Walks taking place in 2020. The Guides have been busy during lock down with some virtual walks which can be viewed over on the Great Yarmouth Heritage Walks Facebook page. Watch this space for 2021 plans.

Delve into the history that surrounds Great Yarmouth on one of our fantastic heritage guided walks, explore the history of this ancient seaside resort, fishing port and market town. 

The Great Yarmouth area has some fantastic history and architecture to admire, and some colourful stories of local characters to go with it. An exciting range of  walks, written and designed by some of our heritage guides will take you off the beaten track and out into the local area to discover more about what went before in Great Yarmouth.

Guided heritage walks in 2021 will include some of our old favourites exploring the town's Medieval Town Wall and famous Row houses along with hearing a few more local gory stories. 

Usually taking place regularly from April to October, Heritage Guided Walks, led by an official Great Yarmouth heritage guide and supported by the Go Trade project, are one of the most interesting ways of discovering more about the area.

All the walks cost £4.50 for Adults, £2.00 for children (7-17 years). Under 7's free, no unaccompanied children allowed on any walk. Tickets can be bought on the day from your guide unless otherwise stated.
