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.👍
It is great to know of another Norfolk person who absolutely adores their home county. Me too and you are show casing beautifully OUR magnificent coast line. Thank you for sharing Hunstanton New and Old with all.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 .
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
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 😁
Just rewatching Hunstanton and we are in Hunstanton. You can tell my husband watches you too, he said I recognise that from Tim. Love watching all your videos. Thank you because you encourage us to visit different places, love watching Gaby’s videos too.
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.
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.
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 👍
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!
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!!!
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!
Just a wonderful fun place for the kids! Hope all the children had a fun and happy day .. big kids too!Thanks Tim hope it brought back such happy memories for you😎
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!
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.
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.
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 😃
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..
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
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.
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!
Been there before,Joke shop,Been there for a long time,Also been in just every shop in Hunstanton as well,Once stopped at a B and B place some years ago as well,It was quite cheap then for a good weekend away
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
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
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
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. 👍
hi mate love your video of sunny hunny, I live around 45 mins away.... its a great place..... we intend on retiring there in 11 years.... a fantastic place. wayne
So nice to see hunstanton again Tim if you remember this is when I first started watching your videos would love to go back but to far away thank you for showing us again tim
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. 🍺✌️
What a lovely video. Your channel has introduced me to so many amazing places I didn’t even now were in my own country. Such a great channel keep up the good work.
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 ☹
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
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
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
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
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 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.
Big fan of all of your vlogs and love seeing spots in Norfolk that I have memories of/love to get away too. My favourite place will always be Wells-Next-The-Sea so would love to see another video of you exploring that quaint and beautiful place again (Platten's for fish & chips)! Could even do a stay in the awesome Bang! and enjoy their amazing breakfast!
You've got some great photography on this video Tim. Well done. I've not been to Hunstanton since a school trip in the 70s. You're right. It's not changed one bit! Very clean & well maintained place. Thank you for this visit 🙏😁
Warehouse Clearance wow.. Our one shut down around 14/15 years now where I live. So nice just seeing the signage of it, used to love that shop, so handy 🤣🤣 Never been to Hunstanton though, think I may have to take a trip!
@@WalkWithMeTim seriously man. You could do that 43 mile hike in four or five days easily. The views would be amazing, and the history and information that you would share would be very interesting.
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 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.
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!
Yes his videos are great.It is the only way I will visit the UK.I live in Australia
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
@@rachelquarrell2779 We all hope that Nazstralia and it's fascist regime will be toppled soon so that our Antipodean Cousins can remember what it is to be a based Aussie and tell your jailers to GTF!
Hi I too am bed ridden and like you I find watching explore videos a joy.
Who couldn't love Norfolk. From Hunstanton to Great Yarmouth and everything in between it's just wonderful.
agree
I'm a proud Suffolk boy but I have to agree the coast of Norfolk is the best. Norfolk in general is pretty cool.

Those seafront gardens are beautiful Tim.Glad you got great weather.Never been to Hunstsnton.
Thanks
wow thanks so much Rachel!
The carpark where the Sunday markets were now has retirement flats being built on it. Building works been going on for few months now
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.
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.

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

That is awesome!
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. 🙂
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.
Yep, then the 4 hours queuing through Heacham and Snettisham to get home!
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.

On a clear day you can see boston stump and the roller coaster at ingoldmels, love a bit of sunny hunny
agree
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
Lovely weather on the day this video was filmed!! Gorgeous blue skies, cloudless!! Beautiful day.
I've not heard a more enthusiastic sales pitch for North Norfolk since Alan Partridge.
lol
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!

Glad you enjoyed it russ
Definitely worth a visit, so many fond memories from when I used to take my kids there to visit there Nan.
The ski club there is ace for a bite to eat before a walk along the prom.
I went here for the day with 2 of my Friends & their Parents about 20yrs ago (10yrs old) & it hasn’t changed.
Must admit love watching you coastal town visits . Much more informative than the rivals
I remember the old Pier.It was even a film star in a film called Barnacle Bill starring Sir Alec Guiness
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.
Did you used to go in the Sands above the kit kat? I worked the doors there in the mid 90s.
Grandparent’s house filled with photos of me and r’kid on the seafront at Hunstanton. Have no recollection of it whatsoever.
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.

Another great video. Visiting Sunny Hunny for the 1st time this year really looking forward to it now I've watched this x
Love your videos, so in love with Norfolk. And that’s me and mum outside the fish n chop shop! 😁x
no way
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
Love Hunstanton, hoping to get back again soon. Thanks Tim!
thanks foxy
Oh you must check out the sea tractor in bigbury on sea!
Been there before,Joke shop,Been there for a long time,Also been in just every shop in Hunstanton as well,Once stopped at a B and B place some years ago as well,It was quite cheap then for a good weekend away
The slide was put there in place of the roller skating rink that was there back in the 70's
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
oh and yes please do the Norfolk coastal path... its stunning, especially in the winter !!
I live 15 minutes away from Hunstanton I absolutely love it. The Salad bowl cafe does great food and coffee 😋 🐱 X
Hunstanton is a Lovely 🥰 place that is Well worth the Visit!
agree
my home !! now currently working at Butlins skegness! 🥰
My friend moved here but never quite got to visit - looks lovely. Got as far as Walsingham. Thanks for sharing!
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
Couldn't agree more!
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!
Very nice video! Definitely makes me wanna visit Hunstanton again!
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

Loved Hunstanton. . . Used to go there as a kid. We were there when the ladybird invasion happened in the 70s.
I remember that, 1979 I think, people were putting paper bags on their heads to keep them off!
@@sambrooks7862 lol. . . They were. I remember all the people who had ice creams were trying to get them off. . . . they just gave up in the end.

@@WalkWithMeTim seriously man. You could do that 43 mile hike in four or five days easily. The views would be amazing, and the history and information that you would share would be very interesting.
My wife was born there and left for London at 18.
I'm actually heading to Hunstanton next week. Hunstanton is definitely one of my favourite sea side towns in the UK
:-)
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!
oh wow ill have to take a look
@@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.
love this place ive been there with my son
Been there once....and loved it!
