Wells-next -the Sea.North Norfolk. August 2020.

A much needed holiday was enjoyed in Wells-next -the -sea. Staying in an apartment situated on the quayside with amazing views of the harbour, salt marshes and to the sea and pine woods beyond was perfect!
With the incoming and outgoing tides, private boats, fishing boats being loaded and unloaded, families crabbing on the quayside and the birdlife the scenery was almost continually changing and a delight to see.

A few images attached that were taken on the first couple of days of the holiday.

                                              Wells salt marshes.
This was an ever changing view with the ebb and flow of the tide and varying daylight.

An unusual sculpture to see in a harbour. A link is added to read of how it came to be permanently situated in the harbour.

Holkham Hall had organised a 'Feast in the park' event held on weekends during August. It was good to chill out and enjoy tasty street food and drink and on the Sunday a Jazz band played adding to the peaceful and restful ambience, socially distanced of course! It was a great atmosphere and the sun shone on both visits!



The lake was quiet with just a few Mallard and Great Crested Grebe seen distantly, more social distancing!!

It was lovely to see the appearance of a herd of Fallow Deer.

A few decided to have a drink as they passed by the Geese, Mallards and Gulls on the riverside.

After the enjoyment of a weekend spent relaxing at Holkham Hall the following day RSPB Titchwell Marsh N R beckoned.

To be continued.
