Yarmouth Second Smallest Town in England – Yarmouth Isle of Wight Historic Town



Yarmouth Second Smallest Town in England – Yarmouth Isle of Wight Historic Town

Take a step back in time with me as we explore Yarmouth, a historic harbour town on the Isle of Wight! This charming destination isn’t just picture-perfect; it’s also England’s second smallest town, rich with over a thousand years of history.  

We’ll wander through streets laid out by Norman hands, discover a castle built by King Henry VIII, and stroll along the iconic Yarmouth Pier, the longest wooden pier in England still open to the public.  
Yarmouth, despite being one of the smallest towns, has played a significant role in England’s history. It was once an important port and features a fascinating past, including French raids and a strategic castle. We’ll delve into all of that and more!  

This video isn’t just a history lesson; it’s an invitation to experience the unique charm of Yarmouth. We’ll visit historic pubs, boutique shops, and even a former railway station turned restaurant. You’ll see why the smallest town is a must-visit, with its beautiful harbour, rich heritage, and stunning coastal scenery.

    Such a wonderful video. The town is so picturesque. Beautiful along the sea. Interesting history. I would enjoy exploring the shops. Thanks so much for sharing. You do a great job.😊

    What a fascinating town so steeped in history – if my(Ian) little grey cells serve me correctly, I think Yarmouth featured in Treasure Island. This video was just as enjoyable as the previous one. That station cafe was a great place for a lunch, lovely setting.

    already looking forward to the lovely cottages. The UK has so many beautiful little towns ! it is just incredible. Thanks for sharing! PS never seen a sandwich like that !

  12. @sandiandgregh

    Well, Yarmouth looks stunning. And the railroad themed cafe…amazing! I think I’d have needed a sleep after that epic fish sandwich. 😅

  13. @diaroses3146

    Sometimes England could be overwhelming. Argentina video from weeks before is magnificent and all but really England has a charm that defies words. Among the variety of your videos, I'm eagerly waiting your England adventures. I'm very discriminate person… 😂 So, Keep up.
