Hunstanton - a family sea-side town for all.

The fossiliferous cliffs of Hunstanton
Hunstanton is a great place for fossil hunters old and young alike. The stratified red and white chalk cliffs are packed with prehistoric treasures just waiting to be discovered. The small 19th Century old village is now eclipsed by newer town developments with sealife centre, fairground, shops and range of eateries. Although on the East coast it faces west towards The Wash and Lincolnshire, it is one of the fewest places on this side of Britain which enjoys glorious sunsets over the sea. A cliff-top walk will lead you to a superb beach for safe swimming.
