Beautiful examples of Barrow's that have survived quite well mainly due to how flat the landscape is here. They stand proud of the landscape and are particularaly atmospheric at dusk.

Impressive landmark on the northern approach to Hunstanton.

Sitting near the route of the old Peddars Way trackway. Amazing to think that these barrows have seen the Romans, Angles, Vikings and Normans all go by, standing inviolable and immutable.

Now self catering accommodation, the lighthouse at Old Hunstanton sits atop the highest point of Hunstanton Cliffs and was used to guide ships into The Wash. Built in 1840 to replace a previous structure from the 17th century. Before the lighthouses, it is thought that a light was displayed in St Edmund's Chapel, the ruins of which are next door.

The Old Hunstanton Lighthouse is a truly iconic building on the cliffs between Hunstanton and Old Hunstanton. The current lighthouse was built in 1840, however, there has been a lighthouse on the site since 1665. The lighthouse isn't open to the public but makes for a rather memorable holiday let accommodation. More details: norfolkcoastholidaycottages.co.uk/the-lighthouse-old-hunstanton

A cluster of Bronze age burial mounds / barrows on Harpley Common. Some are around 3m high. Pottery, bone and charcoal fragments were discovered when Bell Barrow was excavated. Local tradition has it that treasure is buried here and it is said that rabbits will not burrow in it, or if they do they soon come out! Strangely enough there are very few rabbit burrows. Please don't dig for treasure here, as it's protected as a national monument.

Worth a look

The chapel, now in ruins, was erected in 1272 in memory of St Edmund who landed at Hunstanton in 855 to be crowned King of East Anglia. He led an army against Viking invaders but was defeated, captured and martyred. He became the first patron saint of England.
