Yarmouth is a coastal town in Norfolk, England. The town
location is such that it is in between River Yare and the North Sea, which
makes it a perfect fishing port. Beside this, today Yarmouth is proving to be a
promising off-shore natural gas rig.
Roman Fort which lies near River Yare, also known as
Gariannonum, were built near the village of Burgh Castle in Norfolk, this forts
came to existence so that get defense against Saxon, they use to raid the area
of the east and south coasts of southern Britain. Though, forts are not in good
condition today but they are under care of English Heritage, since when Romans
foray into Britain they wreck the walls but still some of them are still
standing tall. If anyone wants to go back in old days then it is a must
visiting forts, access is absolutely free and unhindered.
When it comes to wildlife, Breydon Water it the first place
that comes to the mind, it is located at the back of Yarmouth. It is UK’s
largest protected wetland which is 5 km long and more over 1.5 km in width.
Breydon Water was declared nature reserve in mid 1980’s, and come under care of
Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). During low tides, when water
goes down then one can see vast area of mudflats and salting, different species
of birds flying everywhere, a beautiful sight.
Summer is the time where one can see Great Yarmouth hosting
UK’s largest Little Tern colonies, not only this one can be witness of some
beautiful butterflies, there is small colony of Greyling butterflies as well as
Small Copper and Common Blue.
One can catch a glim of Pied Flycatcher and Redstart during
their migration. As you go towards off-shore you will find Grey Seal and Common
Seal taking their nap.
So, if you are seeking for an historic and wildlife travel,
Great Yarmouth is a place to be.
