Tom_Fields Says: Here, rescued sea creatures are rehabilitated, in hope of someday returning them to the wild. Many are injured, orphaned, or otherwise unable to take care of themselves. But with the proper care and mentoring, they are often able to go back to their natural environment.
kidfree Says: In fact you don`t even need to go on to the beach to transfer to the sea without getting your feet wet. If you want to take a short sea trip you can just step off the promenade on to a wheeled vehicle which then trundles down the sand before gently settling in the water and...
sourbugger Says: The seal sanctuary (or 'sea life centre') stands right on the front in Hunstanton. They save two or three seals each year and nurse them back to health. For that they must be applauded. Some get given names that seem appropriate to such animals - such as 'frosty', whilst in...
sourbugger Says: The 'Wash' is the name given to that hunge dint in the coastline of Eastern England between Norfolk and Lincolnshire. It's alot smaller than it used to be due to land reclaimations over the centuries. It is where, so the story goes King John lost the crown jewels - and they...
sourbugger Says: I must have been past the Lavender farm on the outskirts of Hunstanton dozens of time during my life. It always looks an attractive place to visit with its neat rows of purple flowers on very gentle (this is Norfolk !) slopes.I must admit I have never been in. As my wife...
sourbugger Says: Whilst I maybe quite disparaging about Hunstanton itself, there is much to visit around these here parts.The North Norfolk coast itself, extending eastwards from here is an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is filled with quaint villages, busy towns and plenty of quiet...
sourbugger Says: Another great favorite from childhood. it's only a couple of miles along the sefront to walk between the brash 'new' Hunstanton and the old Hunstanton. The old village is far more genteel, and posseses a superb beach. The locals also pronounce the place as 'Hunts-ton' as...
sourbugger Says: This is the view I always have in my head of Hunstanton pier. There was a pierhead building as well you understand, but this was the view that I grew up with when dragged to Hunstanton on holidays as a child.Hunstanton must be one of the most unluckiest piers around. It's...
kidfree Says: In the summer I love to take the family to the green where the old war memorial is, get a cold beer from the Golden Lion pub and sit outside until the sun goes down.The kids generally find similar aged friends to play with and mum and dad can relax while the sun sets. The...
kidfree Says: We Brits have a tradition of taking the sea air that goes back to victorian times. When the cities were trying to cope with all the new heavy industry and the air was dirty and people were suffering with all types of ailments, particularly associated with breathing, then a...
Tom_Fields Says: Hunstanton's most interesting, unique feature is its lovely, multi-colored cliffs. These stand about 60 feet high, and are the town's main tourist attraction.The nearest rail service is in King's Lynn.
Tom_Fields Says: Hunstanton has nice beaches, which offer a variety of experiences. One can hire a pony, ride in an amphibious vehicle (provided that the sea isn't too rough that day), or just stroll along the seashore.
Ines28 Says: A Norman castle / ruin. It is a massive stone ringwork and bailey. To the east, a small square gatehouse is set in the bank with a fragment of the 14th century brick curtain wall to one side. In the inner enclosure are the foundations of a 11th century Norman chapel, hard...

sourbugger Says: Hunstanton stands at one end of the 'Coastliner' service that provides public transport along the North Norfolk coast as far as Cromer. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty, and even if you have a car, it is an ideal way to explore the region.I always think that you...
sourbugger Says: It is a crying shame that Hunstanton lost it's rail connection back in the 1960's. It was before my day, but I'm still disgusted. Regular trains used to run direct from London, and would bring in holidaymakers in their thousands. With a pathetic road connection (it's a bit...

This shop is is a traditional old house and offers all kind of souvenirs, from porcelain to recipe books, from iron animals to real antiques. It is large shop but with many small cosy rooms. You can even watch someone making pottery items like vases or butter pots.
As they say it themselves: A visit is a must!
What to buy: As I was not used to the generally high prices, I looked only for smaller and affordable items. In my opinion, I found the perfect little gift (okay, mostly for women): little recipe books, e.g. Favourite Farmhouse recipes or country fare etc. They only cost 0,99 GBP and are illustrated with pretty paintings.

Crab fishing in Wells-next-the-Sea
Ines28 Says: Wells-next-the-Sea has a small harbour, and especially on week-ends you will see lots of people sitting on the promenade trying to catch some crabs by using some sort of string with a lure. Often whole families try their luck as crab-fishers.
Ines28 Says: Try to visit a Flower festival in one of the many churches. By chance, we saw the festival held in the St. Nicholas Church, Dersingham.The church was decorated with many different flower arrangements made by different groups as schools and several associations. The bouquets...

Want to see what utter rubbish the English will buy ?
Have a look around the weekend market that operates right in the centre of town on the site of the old railway station.
Want to buy a high-vis jacket for a 3 year old ? Here's your place.
Want to buy a new wheelchair ? Here's your place. Makes you wander how they get to the stall in the first place...do they struggle there and buy a new one, or do you drop the old one off in part exchange ?

Hunstanton's golf course (at old Hunstanton) is often considered to be one of the 'undiscovered gems' of the English game.
Although an ancient course, it has been updated at various points in it's history and still provides a fearsome test for people who actually enjoy spoiling a walk whilst wearing silly trousers.
At 70 quid or 80 quid a day to play, it's not cheap. The green fees do however entitle you to play all day, so you can get two rounds in for that price - and that makes it far more attractive.

This town is known for its unique seaside cliffs, with their peculiar layered colors. It's a fairly typical seaside resort.
Our hotel had an indoor pool. It was way to cold to dip into the North Sea, more correctly called the WASH I went to the beach. The tide was coming back in. I hid as much as I could beneath my hood...
