Christmas in Great Yarmouth at The Dolphin Hotel

Local departure by coach, then on to Great Yarmouth and our hotel for four nights.

Today we visit Cromer, the ‘Gem of the Norfolk Coast’. Once a small fishing village and now a traditional seaside resort, enjoy a stroll down its Victorian pier, which has withstood many storms and even an attempt to blow it up by the Government in WWII to prevent it being used as a landing strip for enemy invaders! Why not sample the famous Cromer crab, a local delicacy? You can also discover the town’s maritime history at the Lifeboat Museum and Cromer Museum.

Merry Christmas! Relax in Great Yarmouth, open some presents, tuck into a traditional turkey dinner, and enjoy the festive atmosphere in the hotel with your fellow travellers. This evening there will be a Christmas buffet.

This morning we visit historic Norwich where, in this truly English city, it is still a pleasure to wander among the medieval streets, particularly cobbled Elm Hill, which is full of character. Norwich is the most complete medieval city in the UK, the only city in a National Park, and was England’s first UNESCO City of Literature. It is of course also famous for Alan Partridge, Steve Coogan’s comedic character presenting Radio Norwich.

We depart the hotel this morning, filled with magical Christmas memories, and return home.
