Why You SHOULD Visit Hunstanton, North Norfolk

[@alexdavis5766]

Love your videos Tim, being disabled and bedridden for many days at a time, it’s nice to feel like I’m outside with you on these walks!

[@rachelquarrell2779]

Yes his videos are great.It is the only way I will visit the UK.I live in Australia

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thanks Alex im glad it helps you .. that's another reason I make the videos :-)

Same here Alex Davis! I am also bedridden and disabled, can't really leave the house. feels like a mini holiday watching his videos

Who couldn't love Norfolk. From Hunstanton to Great Yarmouth and everything in between it's just wonderful.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

agree

[@returntodreamcastle6810]

I'm a proud Suffolk boy but I have to agree the coast of Norfolk is the best. Norfolk in general is pretty cool.

[@thebard9786]

Hunny is the epitome of English seaside resorts. When I visit friends and family at nearby Heacham, you'll find me there often, with my missus, just watching the sunset with fish & chips in hand. Hunny is definitely sweet, Tim.👍

agree!

Hi Tim ! This is what I love about Norfolk it's like stepping back in time. I really love going to Hemsby and great Yarmouth it's my childhood holiday place. Looked a lovely day there thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

Hunstanton is lovely seaside town I was born there it very nice to sea ❤

[@trevorjones5625]

I went last year for the first time in many years. It was a birthday treat to myself and i took my dog. We walked for hours collecting shells and pretty stones. He loved running through the rock pools and eating crabs. I plan to go back in a week or 2 and make it a yearly tradition. Cheers for this video as it was perfect timing with some great memories.

[@brendad1329]

The carpark where the Sunday markets were now has retirement flats being built on it. Building works been going on for few months now

[@dominustaker1651]

The noise has annoyed quite a lot of people according to my Nan who lives near Hunstanton, not to mention it sits on the former railway station.

[@Berkcam]

The pier has long gone. It was a rotting dangerous heap back in the 60s. Me and two school pals wandered on to it one blustery night and a bench seat gave way and swung out over the churning waves with young Mickey hanging on for his life. A real close call 😁

[@briandavis6984]

Great video . Iv visited Hunstanton many times and never get bored of it . It's so laid back and the sunsets are amazing . I will make another visit soon . You can't beat the great British seaside .

Been to hunny a few times,staying at searles etc always lives up to the sunny bit,but you forgot to mention the wind always seems to blow a gale when we’ve visited.

Pure nostalgia, memories of biking on my Grifter from Heacham, my Nan lived there, to Hunstanton, along the wash, then diving into the arcades, a time when a fiver went a long way!!!

[@jeffallinson8089]

What a lovely looking place and I think those cliffs look awesome especialy with the colour change but whats best of all is that it has the same timeless charm of many decades ago. I hope it never changes and it is certainly a place I would love to visit.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

agree Jeff

[@silvershoes9724]

I went there years ago, must’ve been the early 2000s. It’s a really nice place. We went on that Wash Monster vehicle… quite a bizarre experience but fun!

[@samhenwood5746]

Wow what a beautiful place & lovely views 🤗

[@bestdisco1979]

I was born in Wisbech and spent many sunny days in Hunstanton as a child. Lovely memories. Used to love the open air roller skating rink.

[@sambrooks7862]

Yep, then the 4 hours queuing through Heacham and Snettisham to get home!

I live in Kings Lynn and I start every year with a New Years Day walk on Old Hunstanton beach. Nothing nicer than that beach in winter. 🙂

Hunstanton is such a beautiful traditional seaside town and you have presented the vlog so professionally as always Tim ♥️👍

A fantastic friendly family resort. But head straight to the Irish bar.if you want a pint after 9.30 on a Sunday. The rest if the pubs are closed

[@jadet2285]

My parents had a caravan at Hunstanton when I was a child , I have the best memories ever of my summer holidays there. Even though I have moved away I still visit a couple of times a year with my own children 😃

[@WalkWithMeTim]

me too! its timeless

[@Emma.1993]

I went here for the day with 2 of my Friends & their Parents about 20yrs ago (10yrs old) & it hasn’t changed.

[@norfolkngood8960]

We live near Blakeney & we did several holidays in Hunstanton whilst my dad was dying from a brain tumour. It's was the only place I could go pick them up from their home, drive them there then go fetch my wife & kids so we could all go together. We stayed at the Park Resort site next to Searle's which is really nice, nice indoor & outdoor swim outside pool. Love Hunstanton & now have some very fond, dear memories of all of us there, the grandkids & my parents Foster kids on rides & the sealife centre before my dad got too ill to leave the house. Hunstanton was also the closest beach growing up & spent many an hour there & stuck on the old chicken run A149 as it was then. Thanks for this Brought back some great memories

[@WalkWithMeTim]

You are welcome

[@suegosling414]

Looks lovely Tim thankyou and totally unspoiled😘😘😁😁

[@Berkcam]

I remember the old boating lake and the freezing cold sea water pool. Cod and chips from 'Fishers' accompanied with a pint of cider from the Golden Lion is a lovely treat.

[@pamelaspooner7183]

Yes, we used to go on the train from Lynn. Just terrible they closed the train down. Hurt so many individuals and businesses.

Went there last bank holiday weekend, bloody loved it. Had tea and donuts near the pier, went on the landing craft, did the really old fair rides and had a go on the 2p machines in the arcade. The weather was great, proper old school seaside!

Must admit love watching you coastal town visits . Much more informative than the rivals

[@sharonsmallwood3658]

Excellent vlog as always. Love Hunstanton, it's our nearest seaside, 102 miles from here. Have fond memories of visiting with my late parents in the 80's and going to the Princess Theatre and then with my own children in later years. We were last there in April for my daughter's birthday and as you say it's not changed over the years.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thats why people love it I think :-)

[@davidhammond3033]

An excellent video and commentary on what makes Sunny Hunny such an ideal holiday or day trip destination! There really is a little something for everyone. I've been holidaying there for over 40 years, and it works its magic every time. Lovely fresh air, beautiful walks on the beach or promenade, catching those stunning sunsets. I always return home feeling refreshed and relaxed. Wonderful memories of this lovely resort, and long may it last 👍

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thanks David

[@nickbutler7935]

Definitely worth a visit, so many fond memories from when I used to take my kids there to visit there Nan.

[@rafiqadarr6217]

Hunstanton has always been lovely, my family have been going there since the 1980s. Lovely seafront with fish and chips, donuts and icecreams, with the fairground rides and amusement arcades, and some nice little shops, including souvenir shops and The Joke Shop. Very pleasant seaside town, I went there today with my sister and we loved it. Lots of people eating fish and chips and enjoying themselves. It kept raining but we dodged the rain with the brolly and kept our spirits up with tea and fish and chips. Lovely town.

[@linedancer1000]

The slide was put there in place of the roller skating rink that was there back in the 70's

[@Hankfan5379]

I visited today and had a brilliant time walked along the beach and what a view from the lookout seen the cliffs and lighthouse too and a long paddle in the sea the tide was out and gotta say the scenery was stunning and even had fish and chips in Henry's Sunny Hunny will always be a beautiful seaside to visit and Norfolk and Suffolk have the best coastline

[@davidguardado4739]

I grew up in this townand. Worked long days on the. Park and I helped to put up and take down the helter skelter. Lot of memories from this town good and bad. 🍺✌️

[@fredbear72ify]

Had many a day trip to Hunstanton late 40's early 50's as it was the closest seaside place to where I lived in Northamptonshire visited again a few years ago on a trip back to UK enjoyed some wonderful fish and chips there. Loved the vlog today, many happy memories..

[@dalebenton3354]

Im going to Hunstanton this summer time,Have a nice time out,Also go on the fun fair rides,Go for some crazy spins,Then go in the arcades see what I can win this time,Normally win something,Also one of my best places in Norfolk,I also often go there most summer time's when the weather nice and hot

[@russherbert3130]

just found this one Tim - loved Hunstanton as a kid (40+ years ago) my Gran lived down the road in Heacham - spent ages in the joke shop as a kid, ghost train was great and a lovely trip down memory lane

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it russ

[@CheshireCat6639]

Ahh fond memories..my dear old gran had a van on Searles in the 70's...I was 18 my 1st boyfriend was Will Searle (he looked like Rod Stewart)of infamous Willy the Wash monster! ( back then it was no more than a skip on wheels)!What an empire they have now !! I met him in the Kit Kat club,maybe changed its name now? Loved sunny hunny..❤..ty for this stream

[@jimbobbeer6642]

Grandparent’s house filled with photos of me and r’kid on the seafront at Hunstanton. Have no recollection of it whatsoever.

Love Hunstanton, hoping to get back again soon. Thanks Tim!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thanks foxy

[@frankiefranklin9761]

Oh you must check out the sea tractor in bigbury on sea!

[@jd49631]

Hunstanton and Heacham were always the two places my family would stay as we lived in Cambridge. I always remember going to Cassies restaurant, the joke shop, the slot machines at the arcades and the beach on old Hunstanton. Never really visited the funfair as much. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thanks for watching you are welcome

[@arch.b4408]

Take it from a local, go further round to the beaches near thornham and burnham market. Much nicer pubs, restaurants etc but you do pay for it!

Thank you for this Tim! It’s my happy place and I just want it to get more recognition and I’m glad your saying all this!

I remember the old Pier.It was even a film star in a film called Barnacle Bill starring Sir Alec Guiness

[@superferrisbueller]

Your review is spot on. Hunstanton doesn’t seem to have changed much in all the years I’ve been coming (a running joke is that neither have some of the shop window displays, but that just adds to its charm!) I think it holds a special place in people’s hearts from when they used to visit as a child, and I used to love the joke shop, though as you observed its now less jokes and more naff adult toys! Despite it becoming rather tired and run down in recent years, the last time I visited it was clear that quite a bit of money has been invested and it was looking rather splendid. You can’t go to Norfolk without visiting Sunny Hunny for a stick of rock and some chips!

[@sallymacpherson7243]

Love your videos, so in love with Norfolk. And that’s me and mum outside the fish n chop shop! 😁x

[@WalkWithMeTim]

I like Hunstanton but my favourite Norfolk coastal town is Wells, I was staying at Heacham last week in my mother's static caravan and we popped into Hunstanton for the day

[@JustCallMeHorse]

There was a snake slide at the funfair once, I remember as a child in the 80's use to give you static shocks as you slid down :D

I went to high school in Hunstanton, and was in a Christmas show at the princess theatre when I was 9 years old. I’m in my late 50’s and Hunstanton still looks the same as it did when I was a kid. It lost its pier in a storm in 1978, the original pavilion burnt down in 1939.

[@sambrooks7862]

Did you used to go in the Sands above the kit kat? I worked the doors there in the mid 90s.

[@judybee]

Love Hunstanton. Old fashioned fun. The drive from there along the top road to Sheringham and Cromer is like stepping back in time. And the seal trips halfway along that road at Blakeney make it a lovely day out! x J x

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Couldn't agree more!

[@dalebenton3354]

Im often picking mussels of the beach,Then I take them home and cook them,They taste nice,Not bad,Plenty of free sea food,Even thats not cheap now days to buy

[@philanthropist1241]

Another sunny day and another great watch. Not been to Hunstanton since the early 80s, saw " The Tart And The Vicars Wife" at the lovely theatre, that would require numerous content warnings these days ☹

Thank you for the great video and the memories. I lived in Hunstanton for 9 years .I left in 2000. You are right it doesn’t change much at all. Just the odd shop closes with a new one to take its place. I used to work in a fabulous tea room where we sold delicious cakes and fantastic bread with a small tea room attached called The Corner House. All gone now. Also a little shop called “Spellbound” such great memories in Hunstanton. It’s lovely to see it again...I’m going to have to pay it a visit very soon. Thanks again. 👍

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks Sandra

[@amyclingo4286]

I’ve got so many memories from Hunstanton when I was younger. Cannot forget the goblins pantry which was near the joke shop. It closed down this year :( I’ll never forget the time I went to Hunstanton and my mum told me not to eat the whole bag of skittles for breakfast. My 5 year old self ate the whole bag of skittles. Bad things happened after that 😭😭😭

My parents moved to Dersingham which isn’t too far when I was a baby in 1986 so took me to Hunstanton a lot in nice weather. We moved away when I was 3 so I don’t remember much about it but they tell me about it and from I’ve seen in pictures you are right it hasn’t changed much. Apparently though there was a laughing clown at the pier I was terrified of so not sure if that’s still there 😂Thanks for bringing it to life though all the places I would have been but don’t remember, this video is making me want to visit Hunstanton now though, 😃.

Sometimes you can see the ruins of the pier on the beach at low tide. The pier building is relatively new as the old building burnt down several years ago, very contentious building locally. And Skegness is the other direction you pointed to Boston. On a clear day you can see Boston stump
