As a way of breaking the journey to a funeral we hit upon the idea of staying a couple of nights at Hunstanton
Hunstanton Cliffs are made of three layers of rock - the chalk layer (white), the Hunstanton formation (red) and the Carstone (brown). These date from 100 million years ago when the climate was similar to the Bahamas today and tropical seas covered much of the land.
Apart from Hunstanton itself we visited Wells-next-the-sea, Holkham Beach, Binham Priory (English Heritage) Walsingham (home of the Anglican and Roman Catholic Shrines to Our Lady of Walsingham - where Granma used to go on retreat) and Creake Abbey (English Heritage). We discovered that apart from places with names Rogerstone and Peterstone in Wales there is also a Peterstone (but not Rogerstone) in Norfolk.
