Our home on the Norfolk coast

Great Yarmouth.
A golden past, a bright horizon.

Where the North Sea meets the Broads, a proud maritime town connects centuries of stories with unmistakable seaside energy.

Between sea and sky

A remarkable place to call home.

Great Yarmouth is more than a meeting point on the map. Its wide horizons, seafaring history and open landscapes echo the spirit of amateur radio: curiosity, connection and the pleasure of reaching beyond the familiar.

The Golden Mile

Classic seaside character.

Marine Parade runs between Great Yarmouth’s two traditional piers, bringing together broad sands, sea views, amusements, gardens, cafés, theatres and family attractions. The Golden Mile remains the exuberant heart of the resort.

The golden past

Built by sea, herring and trade.

Great Yarmouth’s story reaches from Roman remains and medieval walls to a prosperous port, herring industry and the birth of the seaside holiday.

The Norfolk Broads

Quiet water, wide horizons.

Just inland, the Broads open into a network of navigable rivers, lakes, reedbeds and grazing marshes. Windmills, wildlife, sailing boats and waterside villages give the area a completely different rhythm from the seafront.

For portable radio operators, walkers, photographers and nature lovers, the surrounding countryside offers memorable days out beneath some of England’s biggest skies.
