Great Yarmouth Potteries and Smoke House
Recommended by
Overview
Try your hand at throwing a pot or just watch the demonstrations of experts on potters’ wheels at this popular attraction. A fully working pottery, it takes visitors through each stage from working with liquid clay to painting and glazing a finished pot. Here, too, are a museum dedicated to herring smoking, a gallery of nautical oil paintings and sculptures, photographs of a bygone era in Great Yarmouth and a video that tells the history of the town.

About the area
The North Norfolk Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and probably the finest of its kind in Europe. Here you’ll find a string of quaint villages and small towns – Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea and Cley next the Sea are 21st-century favourites, while Sheringham and Cromer are classic examples of a good old-fashioned seaside resort where grand Victorian hotels look out to sea.
