Hunstanton is one of Norfolk’s most elegant seaside towns, looking out over The Wash on the east coast of the UK. Once a popular Victoria resort, ‘Hunston’ as it is known by the locals is still full of classic things to do besides the sea, including a crazy golf course, pleasure gardens and a beautiful stretch of beach. The cliffs at Hunstanton are famously ‘striped’ with red sediment, providing a unique backdrop to holiday snaps and making the coast here particularly beautiful. Read more
