Things to do in Yarmouth

The town of Yarmouth offers plenty of things to do, from walking through the cobbled streets of the town to cycling along the flat paths which run beside nature reserves.

The town is filled with a range of quaint cafes, shops and galleries and the main square is overlooked by a stunning 17th Century church. Walk up Yarmouth Pier and enjoy the view of the stunning West Wight coastline and even see the ferry coming in to dock!
