We decided to book bikes at the last moment. The service from the company was excellent! Efficient, very helpful and provided wonderful bikes! We spent 4 hours cycling around and through Holkham Estate, along the coastal path and then out of Wells and back through Holkham . Super ride in lovely weather. Can’t recommend Wells Bike Hire enough.
2. 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.

Everything about this location is near perfect: the house is so well kept and the history is fascinating, the grounds are picture perfect and the walled garden is a must see. The facilities are exceptional: a good restaurant with reasonable prices and a well stocked shop. Staff everywhere, including those working in the grounds, were all very friendly.

Reviewed By Dencroft - Hertfordshire, United Kingdom
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!
6. 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.

8. Wells Harbour Railway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 79 reviews
Reviewed By lynnsC4164GI - Lincoln, United Kingdom
not sure why anyone would worry about covid arrangements on an open sided train but the £1.50 far each way is well worth the money especially as parking in the town is about £4. A lovely attraction and it is essential that you wave at everyone on the sea bank as you travel up and down the about 1 mile track.
