The Port Of Yarmouth
Yarmouth was famous for many years because of its base in the herring industry. Although most have been converted, there are still many old smokehouses in existence around the port.
The Western Yar Estuary Management Committee works to ensure that the Yar Estuary, which supports an abundance of wildlife and most importantly birdlife, is correctly managed and conserved.
It is a small town and the harbour dominates with its all year round patronage and popularity with yachtsmen. It also acts as the gateway to West Wight, with the shortest car ferry crossing from the Solent, Wightlink's service from Yarmouth to Lymington takes around 30 minutes.
