Bradwell is a residential suburb of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, situated on the north bank of the River Yare close to the estuary and the North Sea. It combines Victorian terraces with post‑war housing and lies within easy reach of the town centre, the seafront and the waterways of the Norfolk Broads, while Norwich is the nearest city for wider services.
Historically linked to fishing, boatbuilding and the port, Bradwell now has an economy mixing light industry, port‑related activity and service and tourism jobs, and retains a strong local community centred on shops, pubs and community facilities; like many coastal suburbs it has seen waves of regeneration and social change over recent decades.
