The seaside town of Hunstanton is believed to date back to prehistoric times following the discovery of evidence of Neolithic inhabitants in 1970. This original settlement is now known as Old Hunstanton and connects to the main town.

Henry Styleman Le Strange, a local landowner, decided to turn Hunstanton into a seaside holiday resort in 1846. Many new buildings were errected, mainly from the famous Norfolk carrstone which is still quarried at nearby Snettisham.

Within a few years the town started to become popular with tourists from across the country and had the added benefit of a Victorian pier, until it was blown down during a storm in 1972. Sadly it has never been rebuilt.

Today, Hunstanton is still a fanatastic place to take all the family for a traditional seaside holiday with plenty to see and do for all ages with beautiful beaches, fun fair and an array of interesting shops.
