Old Hunstanton is a village settlement adjacent to the larger resort of Hunstanton or New Hunstanton. The quiet character of Old Hunstanton remains distinct from and complements that of its busy sibling, with clifftop walks along the famous stripped cliffs past the Old Hunstanton Lighthouse and the ruins of St Edmund’s 's Chapel, built in 1272. King Edmund supposedly built the village. The River Hun runs to the coast just to the east of old Hunstanton. Old Hunstanton is also near the start of the Norfolk Coast Path which extends over 40 miles along the stunning coast.
The parish church of St Mary, situated in the grounds of Hunstanton Hall, is a Grade I listed building. It was built by Sir Hamon le Strange in about 1300 and extensively rebuilt and restored during the 19th century for Henry Le Strange (1815- 1862), developer of New Hunstanton.
At Old Hunstanton is an RNLI Lifeboat station with a B class (Atlantic) boat and a Hovercraft. Pine trees, dunes and beach huts separate the village from the wonderful beach.
In the village itself there are shops, a craft centre and several restaurants and hotels.
Old Hunstanton is also home to Hunstanton Golf club with its renowned links course which follows the coast north from the village.

Here at Hunstanton Camping and Glamping with mYminiBreak, we gladly accept and welcome campers in whatever you decide to stay in, whether it's a small tent or a large motorhome. Our glamping and camping area is only a two-minute walk from the dog-friendly, mile-long Heacham South Beach, and as we transformed it from a working dairy farm into a camping and glamping site, we were careful to maintain the property's original rustic charm. Because of our beautiful, remote location on the Norfolk Coast, which is out of sight and secluded from the main roads, we feel like we're a world away from the bustle of the surrounding area.
Norfolk Coastal Cottages - The Old Barn & The Dairy, dog friendly, all just 2 minutes from the beach
18-hole, (smart) casual clothes accepted, booking advisable.
The only west facing resort on the east coast of England - there are two sides to Hunstanton.
