Welcome to Cobholm Island

Cobholm Island is a small island located in the River Yare in Norfolk, England. The island is situated between the towns of Great Yarmouth and Gorleston-on-Sea and is accessible by a footbridge. The island has a rich history and was once a thriving community of fishermen and boat builders. Today, the island is home to a small number of residents and is a popular spot for birdwatching and fishing.

The island has a fascinating history that dates back to the 17th century. It was once a bustling community of fishermen and boat builders who made their living from the river. The island was also home to a number of pubs and shops that catered to the needs of the local community. However, as the fishing industry declined, the island's population dwindled, and many of the buildings fell into disrepair.

Today, Cobholm Island is a peaceful and tranquil place that offers visitors a glimpse into the past. The island is home to a small number of residents who live in the few remaining houses. Visitors can take a stroll around the island and admire the beautiful views of the river. The island is also a popular spot for birdwatching, and visitors can spot a variety of birds, including herons, kingfishers, and swans. Fishing is also a popular activity on the island, and visitors can try their luck at catching a variety of fish, including pike, bream, and roach.

During Our Recent Stay In Norfolk We Visited Several Beaches And Sea Palling Was By Far Our Favourite. There Are Date Restrictions In Place To The Left Of The Slipway As You Enter The Beach But We Were Ok In Oct. The Sand Is Golden And Expansive And You Can Walk For Miles If You Feel So Inclined. The Photos Attached Were Taken During Two Visits But You Can Get A Feel Of What It Was Like. Waxham Rd Norwich Lancashire NR12 0DX 13.05 miles
