Old Hunstanton Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

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. The current lighthouse was built in 1840. However, there has been a lighthouse on the site since 1665; the first built of wood with an iron basket of burning coals as a light.

Thornham Deli and Village Cricket Ground

Highlight • Rest Area

Accessed across a gravel car park and without anywhere to really leave a bike. Probably a better stop for tourers than for road cyclists in cleats.

Brancaster Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Fairly unexceptional parish church, noteworthy for the fact that the south wall re-uses Roman masonry blocks from the fort of Branodunum just to the east of the village.

Burnham Overy Watermill and Windmill

Highlight • Monument

Burnham Overy Lower Watermill was originally built around 1790.The building was gutted by fire in 1959, so the roof and much of the interior date to 1960. What remained of the mill machinery, with the exception of the waterwheel, was removed in 1989. Owned since 1939 by the National Trust, the buildings have now been converted to residential use.
