IN AND AROUND
HUNSTANTON
2010 SILVER GILT AWARD RHS BRITAIN IN BLOOM
2010 GOLD AWARD & OVERALL WINNER
COASTAL RESORT CATEGORY– ANGLIA IN BLOOM
The increasingly elegant resort
of Hunstanton is the ideal base
to enjoy Norfolk’s superb
coastline. Hunstanton, or
‘Hunston’ as it is known locally,
is renowned for its awardwinning
beach, unique striped
cliffs and magnificent sunsets,
made special by its position as
the only west-facing resort on
the east coast.
There are two sides to Hunstanton, the
elegant Victorian resort with its
Esplanade Gardens and sedate air of a
traditional resort and the buzzing family
resort with attractions such as the Oasis
Leisure Centre, Crazy Golf and Pitchand-Putt
Course. You can also take a
boat trip to see the seals or visit the Sea
Life Sanctuary. In the evening why not
take the family to the Funfair or visit the
Princess Theatre to enjoy a show.
Old Hunstanton, a silver award
winner, 2010 Anglia in Bloom, has more
of a village feel with cottages built of
Norfolk carrstone and great pubs and
hotels. You can walk from one resort to
the other, so you can enjoy the buzz of
the resort in the morning then spend a
lazy afternoon lying amongst the dunes.
MARKETS
Regular markets on Sundays and B/Hols.
