Yarmouth

New Year's Day, so a picnic was called for. Obviously. We hopped into the car and drove to Bouldner Viewpoint car park, then followed a steep path down to the seawall. I had hoped to turn right at the bottom and stroll along to Hampstead, but the seawall ended abruptly after 100yards and it wasn't possible to get to the beach. We turned round and walked along the wall to Yarmouth Common, then turned uphill, then right along a narrow street lined with old and interesting houses and continued until we got to the town square. Being in need of a picnic, we located the bus shelter by the ferry terminal and sat and ate. The weather was a bit cold, damp and drizzly to sit outside unfortunately. After lunch we had a cuppa at The Gossips Cafe at the foot of the pier, before heading back to the car, this time following the main road from the common. Pleasant walk.
