Stay at a historic inn in Wells-next-the-Sea

The Globe Inn is a traditional pub with guest rooms and dining overlooking The Buttlands, a tree-lined green in Wells-next-the-Sea on the Norfolk Coast. With its central location, the inn offers a base for exploring the town's harbour, independent shops, sandy beaches and surrounding coastal landscapes, with the Norfolk Coast Path nearby.

From The Buttlands, a short walk through the town leads to Wells Harbour, where fishing boats, sailing vessels and traditional quayside buildings reflect the town's maritime character. Beyond the harbour, a raised path follows the tidal channel towards Wells Beach, known for its colourful beach huts, wide sands and pine woodland.

The Norfolk Coast Path connects Wells-next-the-Sea with Holkham to the west and the coastal landscapes towards Stiffkey to the east. Walkers can explore individual sections of the route, following paths through saltmarshes, woodland and open coastal countryside, or enjoy longer walks towards Holkham Beach and the surrounding nature reserve.

Nearby Holkham Hall offers parkland and woodland walks, while the wider Norfolk Coast National Landscape includes dunes, saltmarshes, nature reserves and coastal villages to discover. With guest rooms, pub dining and walking routes accessible from the town, The Globe Inn provides a base for exploring North Norfolk independently.
