Great Yarmouth is a long established English seaside town (since the 1700s) at the mouth of the River Yare, about 120 miles (172 km) to the north east of London. Around 5 million people visit Great Yarmouth every year, making it Britain's third most popular seaside resort. It is about 20 miles (32 km) from Norwich, the nearest city, and close to the Norfolk Broads - a popular network of inland lakes and rivers.
