UK's best seaside pier has rides, fish and chips and is 2.5 hours from Cambridge

Great Yarmouth's Britannia Pier has been crowned the UK's best seaside pier, winning the National Piers Society's Pier of the Year 2026 award following a £2.2 million renovation. The historic Victorian pier boasts rides, amusement arcades, fish and chips, and a theatre — and it's not Brighton or Blackpool.
