Happisburgh (pronounced Haze-bruh) is an ancient and attractive village, mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086, on the north Norfolk coast. It has a medieval church and working lighthouse, built in 1790, but is perhaps best-known as the site of the oldest evidence of human presence in the UK, dating back over 800,000 years. There is nothing to see, but flint tools were unearthed in 2010 and human footprints were discovered on the beach in 2013, dating back to the time when this area was part of a river estuary.
There is a convenient pay and display carpark, with access to the beach. Spot the pillbox on the clifftop, near the lighthouse.
