The
quaint Norfolk Coastal town of Wells has been slightly over
shadowed by neighbouring villages such as Burnham Market and Brancaster,
which became the most popular places on the Norfolk Coast for
cottage holidays. But recently Wells has started to change its
image with a select number of boutique shops, cafes and high quality
restaurants appearing in the town. Couple this with some beautifully
refurbished and modernised holiday rentals and the town has placed
itself firmly on the tourist map.
Wells-next-the-sea
is a small fishing town, situated between Hunstanton and Cromer on the
North Norfolk Coast. Home to around 3000 residents, Wells comes alive

town as there preferred beach holiday destination. Attracted by its
relaxed lifestyle, large selection of restaurants and pubs,
traditional fish and chip shops, ice cream stalls and of course its
sandy beaches and pinewood walks. The town is a mix of narrow
streets, old alleys and yards, and boasts some impressive Georgian and
Victorian architecture. 
Some
of the buildings are hundreds of years old, including former coaching
inns and public houses. At the bottom of Staithe Street stands the
busy fishing Quay, the centre piece of Wells-next-the-sea. From the
Quay during the summer season you can catch the miniature steam train
that takes you down to the beach or you can walk along the footpath
with views across the marshes. The beautiful sandy beach, with its
pine trees, sand dunes and colourful beach huts, stretches for miles
towards Holkham and has featured in both films and music videos. The

Wells has been a port
for many years and in days gone by had many trades connected with ship
building, including ropemakers, sailmakers and ship chandlers. Many
years ago the primary trade was the import of coal, timber and
salt, and the export of corn, barley and malt. One of the other main
industries of the town was malting. Some of the granaries and maltings
still exist and have been beautifully converted into holiday homes.
The main feature of the quay is the large granary building with its
distinctive overhanging gantry, which has now been turned into luxury
flats with magnificent views of the harbour.
The town boasts some
impressive Georgian and Victorian architecture. Some of the buildings
are hundreds of years old, including former coaching inns and public
houses. Many are now listed buildings and are a joy to admire. The
Parish Church of St. Nicholas dates from around 1460. It was burnt
down in 1879 after being struck by lightning but was skilfully and
carefully rebuilt back to its original state and is again a working
church popular with the community. The Buttlands in the centre of
Wells quiet green, lined with trees and elegant Georgian and
Victorian houses.
During the summer
season 1,000's of holidaymakers descend on the sleepy fishing village of
