Hunstanton, Norfolk

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A holiday resort town on the north west Norfolk Coast, Hunstanton was settled as early as Neolithic times. The original town here grew up at what is now Old Hunstanton. The 'new' Hunstanton grew as a resort in the Victorian period, and had a fine amusement pier until 1972, when the pier was destroyed in a storm. A medieval chapel dedicated to St Edmund stands on the clifftop. This was built in 1272. Nearby is an old disused lighthouse. The long distance path known as the Peddars Way leads along the coast near Hunstanton, following the course of an old Roman road. There are wide, sandy beaches to enjoy, and given the town's nickname of 'sunny Hunny', chances are that you really *will* enjoy them!
