Welcome to Old Hunstanton

Old Hunstanton is a charming village located on the north-west coast of Norfolk, England. It is known for its stunning sandy beach, which stretches for miles and is backed by sand dunes and cliffs. The beach is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports such as windsurfing and kiteboarding. The village itself is full of character, with a mix of traditional and modern architecture, and a range of shops, cafes, and restaurants.

One of the most popular attractions in Old Hunstanton is the Old Hunstanton Lighthouse. Built in 1844, the lighthouse is still in operation today and is open to the public for tours. Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area. Another popular attraction is the Hunstanton Cliffs, which are made up of layers of different colored rocks and provide a stunning backdrop to the beach.

Old Hunstanton is also home to a number of historic buildings, including St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 14th century. The church is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and impressive tower, which can be seen from miles around. Other historic buildings in the village include the Old Rectory, which was built in the 18th century, and the Old Hunstanton Hall, which dates back to the 16th century and is now a hotel.
