Wells-next-the-Sea, Coastal town in North Norfolk, England.
The harbor of Wells-next-the-Sea contains small fishing boats and connects to a mile-long path leading to a sandy beach with colored huts.
The town appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Guella, named after the fresh water springs that emerged through the glacial chalk.
A steel and whisky barrel sculpture of the Lifeboat Horse stands in the harbor, commemorating the animals that pulled rescue vessels.
The narrow-gauge railway operates between the town center and the beach area, providing transportation for visitors during summer months.
The Buttlands green space features Georgian architecture and lime trees, forming the central gathering point of the community.
