About

Hunstanton Cliffs

A designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, these cliffs run for around 1.5 km along the seafront at Hunstanton, exposing three vivid bands of Cretaceous rock: brown carrstone at the base, iron-stained red chalk in the middle, and white chalk at the top. The chalky upper layers are fossil-rich, and searching the fallen stones at the cliff foot for ammonites, bivalves, and echinoids is a popular pastime. Rock pools on the beach below add further interest at low tide.
