Wells-next-the-sea is a kids heaven with the beach, ice cream parlours,
a couple of small amusement arcades, playground and crabbing all on your doorstep.

​

Great in all weathers, park at the far end of the car park and head in to Wells woods behind the beach to build a camp and picnic and then find the rope swing which hangs over a huge sand bank.

​

However if you are looking for other things to keep your little and not so little people busy take a look at the list below:

​

Head to Holkham for a host of things to do including cycle hire, woodland play area and rope course. Dine at the cafe or picnic in the deer park alongside the lake which has boating in summer months. www.holkham.co.uk

​

Take a boat trip to see the Seals in their natural environment basking on Blakeney Point. (If you are really lucky you might even bump into some at the waters edge on Wells beach.) www.sealtrips.co.uk

​

Master the art of crabbing on Wells Quay! www.wellsguide.com/things-to-do-in-wells-next-the-sea/crabbing/

​

Top tip: Take your swag of crabs down to the causeway on East Quay to release and watch them race away.

Great way to explore the creaks and harbour (for 12 years and up.) www.northnorfolkpaddleboards.co.uk
 

Take a dip at Sheringham pool. www.everyoneactive.com/centre/the-reef-leisure-centre
 

Choose the route Weybourne to Sherringham. This route runs along the coastal countryside then you can hop off for an ice cream before your return trip. www.nnrailway.co.uk
 

Open April to October. This light gauge railway takes you to the pretty village of Walsingham where kids can run off steam at the Walsingham Abbey grounds or you can team it with a shop at the fab Walsingham Deli. www.wwlr.co.uk
