Warm welcome
at Sunny Hunny
Hunstanton is an attractive Victorian
town built out of the distinctive red local stone known as
carrstone.
Dubbed 'Sunny Hunny' the town is famed
for its striped cliffs, golden sands and clear, shallow water,
and is a popular destination for thousands of holiday-makers.
Other attractions include a bowling
green, pitch-and-putt course and a variety of arcades. Visitors
can also take pleasure trips from the promenade, including
one lasting several hours to view Europe's largest colony
of common seals, in the Wash.
For less sunny days there is also the
Oasis Leisure Centre, which includes a large swimming pool
with shoots and slides, and the Sealife Centre where visitors
can come face-to-face with sharks. The
town also boasts the Princess Theatre which hosts a variety
of shows, plays and pantomimes each year. One
of the highlights of the social calendar is the Hunstanton
District Festival of Music and Arts which runs in June and
includes a variety of musical acts.
Just a few miles down the road is the
site of one of the century's most significant archaeological
discoveries - the Bronze Age timber circle known as Seahenge.
