There’s a reason why the perceptive Peggotty in David Copperfield said that Great Yarmouth was ‘Upon the whole, the finest place in the universe’. It’s been a seaside town since the eighteenth century and now has the Pleasure Beach, Golden Mile and twelve amusement arcades to match, but there’s shedloads more going on once you put down the bucket and spade: Great Yarmouth is the gateway to the Norfolk Broads from the coast, has a well-established racecourse, and is home to one of the biggest markets in England. And there are chips – the chip stalls at Great Yarmouth are world-famous, which we think is just how it should be. Huzzah.
Peggotty probably didn’t get going to any of the Great Yarmouth holiday parks and campsites, but we’re taking it as a given that she’d have loved them.
