Hunstanton is a rare find on the Norfolk coast, being one of the few places in the east that faces west across The Wash, which means you get clear views of the sunset over the water. The town is physically defined by its striking striped cliffs - distinct layers of white chalk and red carrstone - that run along the beach toward Old Hunstanton. Originally conceived as a purpose-built bathing resort in the 1840s by Henry Styleman le Strange, the town maintains a sense of space with its large central green that slopes down toward the promenade. Locally, it’s often divided between the main town, which holds the primary shops and essential services, and the quieter, more traditional village atmosphere of Old Hunstanton to the north. While the Victorian architecture and gardens give it a settled, historical feel, it remains a practical base for the surrounding countryside, sitting at the start of the A149 coast road that links the various villages of the North Norfolk shore.
