On Friday, 11th July, we arrived in Hunstanton, Norfolk, to bright skies and pleasantly warm weather, with a peak temperature of around 29°C (84°F) under mostly clear conditions. The sunshine made the coast welcoming and perfect for seaside strolls. We began the day with a walk along the promenade, admiring the iconic Hunstanton Cliffs, whose dramatic red-and-white strata are a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. Clear skies and ample light made photographing the cliffs perfect.
For lunch we sat on a wall and ate fabulous, fresh fish and chips from an award winning fish and chip shop, followed by a pint at a local pub.
In the afternoon, the warmth lingered, making it ideal for a steady stroll along the coastal path toward Old Hunstanton.
As evening approached, we had an ice cream as we made our way back to the coach taking in the wonderful views over The Wash. It was a very hot day but ideal for a relaxing day by the seaside.
