Original fan-guide artwork; not a programme still.

Why this place matters

Wells supplies harbour, quayside and coastal transitions that make the otherwise inland Market Shipborough appear to meet the sea.

Episode connections

Planning a responsible visit

The quay and town can become busy in high season. The beach lies beyond the harbour and is not immediately beside the town centre.

Accessibility and access

Holkham publishes current parking, slope, toilet and accessible-facility information for Wells Beach.
