Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Gorleston-on-Sea

The pretty seaside town of Gorleston-on-Sea lies on an unspoiled stretch of the Norfolk coast. It is separated from its neighbour, Great Yarmouth, by the River Yare, which meets the sea at the town’s northern edge.  Holiday cottages in Gorleston-on-Sea are a stroll away from a vast, sandy beach. Starting at the Sea Pier and running southward towards Hopton, it is the perfect place to swim, sunbathe, or build a sandcastle. A stroll along the promenade and a stop at one of the many seafront cafes is highly recommended. Gorleston-on-Sea was once a fishing port and became a popular seaside resort during Edwardian times. Fine historical architecture can be found in the town centre, where Gorleston’s distinctive landmarks include the lighthouse, seaside gardens, pier, and Pavilion theatre. A stroll northward from your holiday cottage in Gorleston-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth is one of the UK's oldest resorts, with a long, sandy beach backed by a graceful promenade. Wander along the seafront, and make the most of the ice cream stands, donkey rides, arcades and other nostalgic seaside amusements. A scenic drive from Gorleston, the Norfolk Broads cover 125 miles of beautiful countryside criss-crossed by meandering waterways, which are best explored by renting a boat for the day. The city of Norwich is also well worth a visit, with impressive architecture and a range of independent shops and restaurants.
