Old Hunstanton Lighthouse

A coastal landmark beside the Norfolk Coast Path

Old Hunstanton Lighthouse stands on the north Norfolk coast, overlooking the cliffs, shoreline, and open waters of The Wash. Built in 1840, the lighthouse has long served as a navigational landmark for vessels travelling along the east coast and remains one of the most recognisable structures on this section of coastline.

Located beside the Norfolk Coast Path and close to Old Hunstanton, the lighthouse sits within the Norfolk Coast National Landscape and forms part of a wider network of coastal routes, landscapes, and places. Today, it remains a prominent feature of the coastline, connected to nearby beaches, cliffs, and walking routes across north Norfolk.
