Gorleston

Gorleston lies between Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth on the east coast in Norfolk. The town is within the Borough of Great Yarmouth and sits just south of its well-known seaside counterpart. Featuring a wide sandy beach stretching into the distance below glorious cliff gardens and a grand promenade. The beach is a firm favourite with local people and visitors enjoying not only the excellent bathing but also a splash pad and yacht pond. During the summer the beach is often packed with families making the most of this asset. Above the promenade are green cliffs, beautiful lawns, bowling greens, tennis courts and a trim-trail. The long cliff top allows far reaching views across the beach, harbour and towards the pier and wind turbines off the coast.

Gorleston has every amenity you would expect from a large settlement including supermarkets, banks, chain stores and independent run shops, schools, academy’s a and sixth form college to cinema, theatre, golf club, leisure centre, hospital and many pubs, restaurants and hotels.

Inland from Gorleston you will find the Broads National Park and notably the roman fort of Burgh Castle which stands proud above the River Waveney and marshes. Just 7 miles south is the coastal Suffolk town of Lowestoft and the nearby Oulton Broad which is the gateway to the Southern Broads network.
