Susan Jones Selfie Bench

A bench with a story - that's what draws you to this quirky Norfolk museum piece just outside Great Yarmouth. Susan Jones was a local woman who became something of an internet sensation by taking selfies on various benches around the area, and her legacy has been preserved in this oddly touching tribute. It's not a traditional museum in any sense; there's no grand building or curated exhibits here. Instead, it's a working bench where visitors can snap their own photos and add to the ongoing narrative of a woman who found joy in the simple act of sharing moments with the world.

The appeal is genuinely niche. Selfie hunters and Instagram regulars will get a kick out of it, though honestly, most families passing through Great Yarmouth won't know it exists. That's partly the charm - it feels like discovering someone else's inside joke. The bench itself sits in an accessible spot, so you won't need hiking boots or special planning to find it.

If you're staying at one of the Haven parks nearby - Hopton's just two miles away, or Broadland Sands at three - you could easily pop over as a quick detour during a park holiday, though it's hardly a reason to plan your entire trip around. Spend five minutes here, take your photo, move on. It won't eat into your afternoon, but it does offer a genuinely different sort of stop compared to the usual Norfolk seaside attractions.
