OLD HUNSTANTON
Old Hunstanton is a highly regarded coastal village on the North Norfolk coast, known for its distinctive striped cliffs, wide sandy beach and unspoilt coastal landscape. It offers an appealing mix of character homes, converted properties and contemporary coastal residences, all set within easy reach of the shoreline and countryside walks.

One of the village’s most recognisable landmarks is the Grade I listed ruins of St Edmund’s Chapel, dating back to the 13th century, which sits close to the cliff edge and overlooks the coastline. Nearby, the iconic Hunstanton Lighthouse continues to guide vessels along this stretch of the Wash, adding to the village’s historic maritime character.

Old Hunstanton Golf Club provides a traditional links course highly regarded for its coastal setting, while nearby Royal West Norfolk Golf Club offers another prestigious championship links course set against the dramatic backdrop of the marshes and shoreline.

For dining and hospitality, the village offers a strong selection including The Lodge, The Ancient Mariner and The Neptune, the latter being a Michelin-starred restaurant widely recognised for its fine dining and seasonal menus. A village store and craft centre provide everyday essentials and independent shopping, while additional amenities can be found in nearby Hunstanton.

The coastline itself is a major attraction, with long stretches of golden sand, beach huts and dunes leading into the Wash. The area is particularly known for its sunsets over the sea, attracting visitors year-round. The coastal path offers extensive walking routes, with opportunities to explore neighbouring villages such as Holme-next-the-Sea, Thornham and Brancaster.

Old Hunstanton is also well served by the Coasthopper bus route, providing convenient coastal connections between local villages and towns along North Norfolk’s shoreline.
