Geocache Description:


You are looking for a small, magnetic cache hidden up off the ground.

This car park provides parking for about 150 cars, allowing lots of people to enjoy our wonderful town. From here, you can see the lifeboat station and the channel leading to the picturesque quay where the fishermen unload their daily catch and supply the local restaurants and shops. 

The beautiful sandy beach, with its pine trees, sand dunes and colourful beach huts, is Wells' most famous feature. Walk for 1.5 miles or so along the golden sands and you'll end up in Holkham. Whether you decide to collect shells, fly a kite or build a sand castle, this is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and deservedly so! For nature lovers, you can spot oystercatchers and ringed plovers, who nest on the beach, along with some common and little terns.

The busy fishing Quay is an ever-popular attraction. Children fish for crabs from the edge of the quay and frequent the amusement arcade, the ice cream stall and the sweet shop. You can buy cockles and crab sticks from the fish stall and watch the fishing boats come and go. The freshly caught seafood is a speciality in many of the local restaurants, and eating fish 'n' chips on the quay is a popular pastime. One of the main industries of the town in the 19th century was malting. Some of the granaries and maltings still exist, and an impressive feature of the harbour is the large granary building with its distinctive overhanging gantry. Built in 1903, the granary has been turned into luxury flats with magnificent views of the harbour.

Wells is a thriving seaside town. You can enjoy crabbing on the quay all year round, wonderful fish and chips and lovely walks up to and on the beautiful beach.
