The A47 Road

The A47 is a key trunk road connecting Great Yarmouth, on the east coast of Norfolk, to the city of Birmingham in the West Midlands; a distance of 182 miles. However, most of the 17-mile-long section between Nuneaton and Castle Bromwich which was part of the original route has now been reclassified as the B4114.

The A47 is partly a holiday road, through West Midlands, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Cambridgeshire, and Norfolk, since it ends in Great Yarmouth, a tourist destination with a beach. On the way it passes the city of Norwich and the Norfolk Broads, both popular tourist destinations in their own right. Its other main function is the transport of goods by road to and from the A1 into Norfolk, North Suffolk and the ports at Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
