Sandringham

The Town Hall and Trinity Guildhall, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England, UK.

I can’t send you pictures of “The Queen’s summer retreat” at Sandringham, as both house and grounds were closed. However, the two hours of walking there and back from our caravan site will have done us good, I’m sure:-)

This is the Trinity Guildhall and Town Hall, King’s Lynn – that chequer pattern must make it hard to redecorate! That cloud just posed beautifully, didn’t it?

The Custom House, King's Lynn, home of the Tourist Information Centre.

There are some lovely buildings in King’s Lynn, but they all look rather sad and neglected. The pink blobs with metal stalks and birds on top are artworks – didn’t you realise?

The Greyfriars Tower – apparently, the reason they didn’t demolish it centuries ago is because it made a handy navigational aid for sailors on The Wash.

Hunstanton Beach, and the famous (in Norfolk) Candy Cliffs.

The sea goes in and out a long way here, and leaves sandbanks. It’s the sort of beach where I don’t venture out too far.

Cliff Parade bowling green and terrace of houses at Hunstanton, Norfolk.

It’s advertised as a “traditional Victorian seaside”, and here is a Victorian terrace on the sea front, to prove it.

St Edmund's Arch and Hunstanton Lighthouse, Norfolk.

Colin’s shot of the lighthouse. You can’t see the wheelie bin from here.

Next stop – Cambridge – which I suspect will not look neglected or faded.

  1. I didn’t realise the pink blobs with metal stalks and birds on top are art. What a lovely contrast they add! Maybe they will fade eventually too.
