What's on offer near the James Paget?
 
Gorleston

Gorleston is in the enviable position of having easy access to all the East of England has to offer. The Great Yarmouth and Waveney area is the third most popular holiday resort in England. There are many picturesque landscapes and villages around the region. The whole atmosphere of the Norfolk countryside invokes thoughts of tranquillity and peacefulness. There is ample opportunity for relaxation and all manner of leisure activities including sailing and all water sports on the Norfolk Broads, golfing at many local courses and many other sports and past-times in the nearby leisure centres.

Norwich is less than twenty miles away, the natural scenic beauty of the Norfolk Broads and the Waveney Valley is even closer, and of course you're only 5 minutes walk from the beach. The City of Norwich offers a wide range of amenities with excellent shopping, more restaurants and great nightlife.
