What visitors say
There is something endlessly grounding about the ocean. It is a vast, breathing canvas where time seems to slow down and every wave carries a quiet rhythm of its own. Standing at the shore, watching deep blues shift into soft, foamy turquoise, you are instantly reminded of how expansive and wonderfully mysterious our world really is.

Beautiful coastline with lots to see and do. The history is great so if your a history buff like me you will enjoy a visit.

A beautiful place to visit, sit, paint, picnic, walk, sea fish, and so much more. Bring the whole family, including your four legged ones. Enjoy wonderful peaceful moments, where you can do a crossword, or explore the history of the country park. Take a ramble in the woods or get physical on the outdoor gym. It's a love space with wonderful views. Sunsets here are beautiful. Enjoy a snack or a meal at one of the seaside Cafés or visit the parks bespoke little businesses, studios, and planetarium; there's something for everyone. Most of the businesses are close during the winter, but some remain open especially during the half term school holidays. Take a leisurely walk into the beautiful little town of Yarmouth. There are many walks and cycle tracks to explore...taking you along the old railway line to Freshwaters old village, with one of the oldest churches, which is next to the Red Lion public house.

A shadow of its former glory. Looks rundown. Parts are shut waiting repairs some day. Cafe is very good though.
