Wells-next-the-Sea is a working fishing port that has evolved as one of Norfolk’s most characterful and historically rich seaside destinations.

The bustling harbour still teems with fishing boats and children crabbing on the quay. Step through pinewood forests onto miles of empty beaches, take a boat at high tide to spot seals or venture inland to discover nature reserves, flint villages and country pubs. Take a holiday and see why generations have been drawn to Wells' timeless seaside charm.

ARC Next-the-Sea is located in the centre of the town, around a 30 minute walk from  the beach.
