The Hunstanton Cliffs afford breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding coastline.

The 12th century castle, the ancient cathedral featuring the largest cloisters in England, the medieval cobbled streets, the original, half-timbered housing. It’s all here blending beautifully with the glass, steel and plastic of the 21st century.
