Hunstanton Seafront & Funfair – Summer Aerial image
This view looks south along the busy seafront at Hunstanton, on the north-west coast of Norfolk. The tide is fairly low, revealing long stretches of sand and the familiar line of wooden groynes jutting into The Wash. You can see how effectively they control longshore drift – trapping strips of sand and seaweed between each groyne, a classic feature of this coastline since the late 19th century.
At the centre of the image is the Rainbow Park Funfair, first established in 1965, still run today by the Hanton family. The bright red-and-white helter-skelter, rollercoasters and arcades make it one of the most recognisable landmarks on the promenade. Next to it is the Oasis Leisure Centre with its swimming pool and sports facilities, and beyond that the Princess Theatre, originally opened in 1932 as a cinema.
The row of caravan holiday homes sits on South Beach Road, one of the most popular areas for summer rentals. On the right is one of the large public car parks which fills up rapidly on hot days like this one. The Wash Monsters boat tours depart from this stretch of beach, taking visitors out across the sandbanks at low tide.
Hunstanton is the only west-facing resort in the east of England, which means visitors get sunsets over the sea – rare for this side of the country. The resort began to grow in the 1860s, laid out by Henry Le Strange, who envisioned a Victorian seaside town to rival the south coast resorts. His plan shaped much of the grid layout still visible today.
You can also trace the change in beach usage over the decades – what was once an exclusively Victorian promenade is now a mix of amusements, arcades, leisure centres, caravan parks, cafés and coastal defences. On this particular day, the beach looks absolutely packed – a classic Norfolk summer scene.

✕ Parti pour découvrir les "trois cimes" de Lavaredo, symbole des Dolomites, notre élan s'est vu coupé par la route fermée devant nous. À raison d'une tombée importante de neige, ajouté à ceci par de nuages épais, on décide d'en profiter avec une petite exploration des alentours.
En espérant un meilleur lendemain, où cette fois ci, le chemin s'ouvrira pour atteindre les "Tre Cime"...

Seen from above, the foundations of “Old Sarum”’s Norman cathedral emerge with extraordinary precision — a pale outline etched into the Wiltshire chalk. These are the remains of the first Salisbury Cathedral, begun around 1075 under Bishop Osmund, nephew of William the Conqueror’s half-brother, and consecrated in 1092. Osmund’s cathedral served as the seat of the Diocese of Salisbury for more than a century, its canons and clergy living and working within the fortifications of this great hilltop citadel.
The site itself is far older. The vast outer ramparts, enclosing some 29 acres, were first raised during the Iron Age (around 400 BC) and later occupied by Romans, Saxons, and finally Normans, who transformed it into one of the most formidable strongholds in medieval England. William the Conqueror ordered the construction of a royal castle here soon after 1069, entrusting it to Sheriff William of Eu, and by the 11th century it had become both a fortress and an administrative centre. The Domesday Book of 1086 was partly compiled at Old Sarum, and William I and William II (Rufus) both held royal councils on the site.
The original cathedral, built of Chilmark stone with a wooden roof, measured about 185 ft (56 m) in length and featured a single tower. Despite its significance, relations between the castle’s soldiers and the clergy deteriorated badly — the clergy complained of restricted access to water and limited space for processions. These tensions, combined with exposure to wind and lack of expansion room, led Bishop Richard Poore to obtain royal permission from King Henry III to build a new cathedral on lower ground beside the River Avon. Construction of the new Salisbury Cathedral began in 1220, marking the birth of “New Sarum” and the gradual abandonment of the hilltop site.
Today, only the footprints of the cathedral remain — the nave, transepts, and choir forming a perfect cruciform pattern visible even from the air. The outlines of associated buildings, including the bishop’s palace and cloister, can also be discerned. Beneath the golden evening light, these ancient foundations offer a haunting glimpse into England’s Norman past — a fusion of royal power, ecclesiastical ambition, and enduring landscape memory.
