Hemsby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hemsby is a village, civil parish and seaside resort in the English county of Norfolk. It is situated some 12 km north of the town of Great Yarmouth.^[1]

The civil parish has an area of 7.14 km² and in the 2001 census had a population of 2973 in 1221 households. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of Great Yarmouth.^[2]

A Norfolk county map dated around 1610 shows a headland, called Winterton Ness, extending into the sea north-east of Hemsby. This headland has now almost entirely disappeared through coastal erosion.

Hemsby is a beautiful town with many exciting and interesting features, such as the large sand dunes and the old church. It is a perfect place for people of all ages to take their holidays.

Its where The festival BLOC-WEEKEND is to take place, Roughly 2500 Hardcore Ravers will cause intense vibrations of energy that will be felt for miles. As a fourteen year old girl who has been going here all her life, it is a magical place that life is unimaginable without.I seriously suggest anyone who reads this to take a holiday and see the magic for themselves. It is very close to places such as Potter Heigham, where children can feed the ducks and Wroxham where there are several shopping malls ( Roys of Wroxham ). This town has it all: chinese food, a beautiful beach, more slot machines than you can throw a stick at and of course the magic that must be included in any seaside town.

I cannot put any pictures of hemsby on at this time but will return and add them when I ask my mum where she put them.
