Scratby village lies 6 miles north of Great Yarmouth on the Norfolk coast. Although Scratby is quiet and rural, shops and restaurants are within a 10 minute walk. Buses run regularly to Great Yarmouth which boasts every conceivable form of entertainment from dining out in style to traditional ‘bucket and spade’ holiday entertainment along the Golden Mile. In addition to several theatres hosting top entertainers, for those who enjoy a ‘flutter’, Great Yarmouth also has a race course, a greyhound stadium and 3 casinos. Although perhaps rather too busy for many of the locals, Great Yarmouth’s allure has had strong appeal for many ‘greats’: Charles Dickens made it one of his favourite haunts and ‘David Copperfield’ gives a good insight into the robust character of the indigenous population of this area. Great Yarmouth was also the home port of Admiral Lord Nelson.
