Hunstanton has an interesting history. The original settlement, Old Hunstanton, dates back to the medieval period, while the coastal town that grew into today’s Hunstanton was developed in the 19th century as a seaside resort. Its striped cliffs, formed from layers of red chalk and white limestone, quickly became a distinctive feature of the town and remain a favourite attraction for visitors. The arrival of the railway helped Hunstanton grow into the popular holiday destination enjoyed today.
