With summer holidays quickly approaching many Europeans are starting to make their plans right now. That includes Brits, who have an incredibly large selection of choices right within their own borders. If you plan to stay within the UK for your holidays this year, and you've never been to England's eastern shore, why not consider a Hemsby holiday park this year? And if you've already been, why not return? The region has plenty to offer in terms of both accommodation and things to do, so you're sure to have an enjoyable holiday in the area.
The greater Hemsby area, if we can use that term, is comprised of a small village of the same name and an outlying beach area known as Hemsby Beach. A 1-mile road connects the two and is lined with a variety of accommodation choices, mostly caravan parks and chalets. Hemsby Beach is among the most popular holiday destinations for UK residents due to the fact that other destination cities, such as great Yarmouth and Martham, are fairly close by. The area is also known for its extensive amusement arcades. Bingo, 10-pin bowling, crazy golf, and a large selection of children's rides are among the offerings.
If you're worried about dining options, a stay at a Hemsby holiday park offers many choices beginning with a seemingly endless number of caf?s along Beach Road. At the beach itself you'll find a good choice of seaside caf?s and restaurants featuring everything from take away fish-and-chips to ethnic cuisine to formal, sit-down dining. Also available are a large number of vendors selling the usual summertime snacks including ice cream and cold drinks.
When it comes to things to do in Hemsby, you can start with sightseeing by visiting the historical St. Mary the Virgin Church built in the 12th century. This local landmark has a rich history of serving the village for over 700 years. You can also take a short trip out to see the Scroby Sands and Blood Hill wind farms. Though these wind farms were originally built to be merely functional, they have evolved into tourist attractions which see approximately 35,000 visitors annually.
A short bus ride takes you to Great Yarmouth where you can enjoy a wide variety of leisure choices including banger and stock car racing, horse racing, football, and many activities at the Marina Centre. Among the many offerings at the centre are its well-known summer pantomime series and variety shows produced by local entertainers. Great Yarmouth also has fantastic night life with plenty of pubs, bars, and live entertainment.
Hemsby Beach and the village of Hemsby have plenty to offer for your 2011 summer holidays. Take a look online at the various Hemsby holiday parks to discover what the region has for you. If you decide Hemsby would be a great choice, make your plans and book early, because space goes quickly. And make sure to preserve your holiday memories with plenty of photos and videos. Enjoy!
