The Ancient Mariner Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

A pub that serves food and escapes the more commercial bits of Hunstanton. We were lucky and were able to sit outside in the October sun

Coastguard Lookout and Old Marconi Wireless Station

Highlight • Other

Originally built as a Marconi Wireless Station back in 1906, the Coastguard Lookout played an important part in both World Wars, intercepting German radio transmissions and tracing the German fleet.

The Second World War saw the building continue as a signal station and was visited by his Majesty King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1943, together with Princesses Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth II) and Margaret, who spent time with the Coastguard and all four signed their royal insignias in the coastguard’s log book. This is an event remembered by a proudly-displayed commemmorative plaque on the side of the building.

Old Hunstanton Lighthouse

Looking for a unique place to stay in Hunstanton? Look no further than The Old Lighthouse, an iconic building located on the cliffs between Hunstanton and Old Hunstanton.
