1. Holkham National Nature Reserve
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 541 reviews
Windswept tidelines, a maze of creeks and saltings, miles of dunes and sandspits, shady pinewoods, green pastures and grazing marshes, the mix of habitats and the blend of wildlife confirm Holkham National Nature Reserve as a unique place.

What a superb nature reserve! Beautiful landscape of pine forest and endless beaches. In 2 hours I saw a huge flock of wigeon as well as teal, Brent geese and lapwings in the fields either side of the car park, & goldcrest, long tailed tits & red kite and kestrel hunting in the pines. Make sure you plan for at least half a day to enjoy this picturesque and extensive reserve.
2. Holkham Bay

We parked the car at Lady Anne’s drive opposite the Victors Inn and Holkham hall. £9 for the whole day. Fantastic dog friendly beach, nice walk along the beach to the beach huts at Wells where you have to cut up into the pine woods (as beach by life boat station is DOG FREE) towards the car park and beach cafe. Toilets and water for the dog provided next to the car park. You can either walk back to the car via the North Norfolk path through the woods or return back to the beach through the pines and down the steps back onto the beach. Lovely few hours of walking and taking in the beautiful views and see air!

You really must seek out this place if you are in Wells, it is on the car park oppossite the quayside and is really special. It has a lovely courtyard seating area, spotless toilets and a delicious selection of cool ciders. We tried the medium sweet and sitting under the shade of a massive plant spent an hour just enjoying the peace and quiet. Tried to go back a couple of days later to try some others and the sparkling that I had read about but unfortunately they are only open at the weekend, I guess they need sometime to actually make the stuff. They also sell apples which looked really good as well. Got talking to some other people who are regulars and got good feed back from them.
4. Wells Next The Sea Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,799 reviews
At low water, Wells beach has huge open views and mile upon mile of sands and shallow channels to enjoy. When the tide comes in, the beach is transformed into a harbour, with the entrance channel suddenly busy with visiting yachts, fishing boats setting out for the day or returning with their catch, local small boats going out to fish as well as clouds of small sailing boats racing or cruising within the harbour. The golden sands are backed by colourful beach huts which have been the subject of many a painting and postcard. The popular Beach Cafe nearby is perfect for refreshments during your visit.

Lovely view, worth seeing at high tide when the fishing boats are unloading, and at low tide when the horse sculpture can be seen in all its glory.

Just love this vessel that has been converted to a pub/restaurant. So authentic and real here. We enjoyed wonderful views sitting on the top deck in the sun. The pancakes are fantastic!

All you need to know about your visit to beautiful Wells-next-the-Sea - where to stay, what to see, what to do, where to eat and all points between. Situated at the heart of the new Wells Maltings venue, and acting as the main reception and box office for Maltings events, make us your one stop shop for all things Wells.

We have been to Wells a couple of times in the last six months, and on both occasions have ended up at The Maltings for a lunchtime snack. Apart from the fish & chip outlets, if your requirements are more traditional fayre then The Maltings will take some beating. Situated on the ground floor of Wells Maltings cultural centre, the café serves light lunches in a very modern setting. The display was very clean, well laid out, and with a spotless-looking kitchen. The items on offer ranged from scones, sausage rolls, quiche & salad, baked potato, home-made soup & roll as well as a variety of hot dishes that included Mexican stew. All the food was freshly prepared, and served by pleasant staff. I opted for quiche & salad, at just under £7 – very artistically presented and very tasty. My wife had the home-made vegetable soup which was extremely filling and piping hot. The scones were equally tasty. Very well patronised by the locals. Also on the ground floor was the Tourist Information Centre, full of useful local information, gifts and cards. Very clean toilets situated between the café and the Tourist Information Centre. Would definitely return in the future and recommend to others.
