Hemsby
Hemsby is a small village but major holiday resort in Norfolk, England, 18 miles east of Norwich and just north of Great Yarmouth. It is an ideal destination for exploring coast, countryside and the Broads National Park.
There are other good beaches at nearby Winterton-on-Sea, Scratby and California (named for the United States’ Gold Rush) and close by there are nature reserves at Hickling and Martham. Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens is a local attraction and there are many opportunities for day boat hire in the Broads.
