Hunstanton

I lived here from the age of two till I left for university.

Whilst I was desperate to get out, my heart occassionally aches to go back. The summer here is wicked, bitchin hot and great for the outdoor life. Very balmy evenings and great memories!

Huntanton is as tacky as any UK seaside town, but it’s completely without the camp charm of other UK resorts. It doesn’t even manage to pull off a genteel quaintness. It’s just dull. Tacky and dull.

I want to go back and see the place where I lived for 2 years.

I love Sunny Hunny! It’s a bit tacky but in a lovely way and not as OTT as some other seaside resorts. Personally I’m not a fan of the Norfolk Lavender Farm but then I don’t like the lavender smell. However just about everyone else I know likes it so don’t be put off going. If you go on a Bank Holiday the bikers will probably be parked up all along the front at the bottom of the green. I tend to stay at Searles Holiday Park, either in a static caravan or camping, and the walk from the holiday park to the centre of Hunstanton is just a stroll away along the front. If you’re lucky the doughnut van will be there when you arrive…fresh doughnuts are a must, particularly if it’s a bit chilly with the sea breeze and they are genuinely fresh and still hot! Scrumptious!!

Why not…if you happen to be passing by.
