Great Yarmouth Racecourse

There are many great cycling routes around Great Yarmouth that will appeal to all, with routes that make the most of the rich and varied scenery in the areas, from the stunning beaches to the beautiful historic churches. There are also longer cycle routes that take in the castles, windmills and country estates.

The campsite is situated just a few minutes' walk from a sandy beach which stretches for miles along the Norfolk coast. The seaside town of Great Yarmouth is just over a mile away, from there you can walk the entire length of the promenade, starting from the boating lake at the north end and finishing just beyond the scenic roller coaster at the south end. You can either then walk another two miles back, or cheat and jump on the road train!

Naturally, this racecourse site is perfect for those wanting to attend a race day. Concessionary tickets for race days are available from reception - you'll save half the price of on-gate tickets!

Fans of the ‘beautiful game’ should head to Norwich Football stadium and see the Premier team in action, with experience days available too. Alternatively, explore the city of Norwich itself.
