Inspiration of things to see and do in our cottages in Wells-next-the-Sea

Wells-next-the-Sea is a delightful Norfolk coast town, known for its picturesque landscapes, beautiful beaches, and charming harbour. If you're interested in taking a ride on a heritage steam train, consider a trip on the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway. This narrow-gauge railway runs from Wells-next-the-Sea to the village of Walsingham and offers a nostalgic and scenic journey through the Norfolk countryside. With the largest collection of Norfolk cottages, we have the perfect home away from home for you.

The vast expanse of the beach and the stunning sand dunes make this area a true natural gem.

There are also several excellent seafood restaurants and cafes where you can savour delicious seafood dishes while enjoying the view.

Wells-next-the-Sea Quay

The Quay is a central hub of activity in the town. Here, you can enjoy crabbing, a popular pastime for visitors of all ages. Rent a crabbing line and bucket, drop it off the side of the quay, and see how many crabs you can catch. It's a fun and relaxing way to spend time by the water.
