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.

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.👍

[@WalkWithMeTim]

agree!

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@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 :-)

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

[@hayleyteasdale7896]

So glad I found this video, so many good memories of Hunstanton, my grandparents had a caravan at Heacham so my sister and I and sometimes our friends and cousins spent many a summer there. Loved this, thank you for sharing.

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. 🙂

[@faumnamara5181]

My parents moved there 4 years ago from London. Best thing they did and love going to visit!

[@andye72]

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!!!

[@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

[@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!

[@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 😃

[@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..

[@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!

[@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.

[@rhysleigh-lancaster837]

Can I just say I can't stop watching this your drone footage and the music is just epic.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thanks Rhys , means a lot

[@carolethurlow9550]

I live 15 minutes away from Hunstanton I absolutely love it. The Salad bowl cafe does great food and coffee 😋 🐱 X

[@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!

[@Emma.1993]

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

[@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 😁

[@TheMarky199]

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

[@stojmonster]

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!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

yes agree

[@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

[@nickbutler7935]

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

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.

[@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

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. 👍

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 😭😭😭

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.

I lived in Sunny Hunny for a few months about thirty years ago and hadn’t gone back until last year. Remarkable how little had changed in the centre of the town. Classic British seaside town. If you visit Withernsea on the Yorkshire coast it has an even shorter pier - just the entrance gates and everything else is gone!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

oh wow ill have to take a look

[@philipellis7039]

@@WalkWithMeTim it’s an interesting little place. I think historically it was a busy seaside town because it’s a short train ride from Hull but between the closure of the rail line in the 1960s and bits of the town falling into the sea it’s become a bit of a backwater. It has an oddly inland lighthouse which these days is a museum and cafe.

[@OZCamperTravels]

I last went to Hunstanton as a 6 year old in 1953. I was terrified the whole holiday, afraid that the area would be flooded again after the Great Storm the previous winter, there was plenty of damage still visible. We used to go each year to a B and B on the seafront, no idea where except it was a Victorian terrace house. Never went again because we moved to Kent.
