Wells-Next-the-Sea Norfolk – A seaside town, port and resort on the north coast of Norfolk in East Anglia, United Kingdom, Wells-Next-the-Sea, or simply Wells as the locals call it, has a population of about two and a half thousand inhabitants, and is located to the east of Hunstanton (some fifteen miles distant) and to the north of Fakenham. Wells no doubt gets its name from the large number of springs to be found around the town. Wells-Next-the-Sea is well known for its lifeboat, though disaster struck in 1880 when 11 of the crew were lost in a great storm.

Hunstanton Norfolk – A popular seaside resort located in the county of Norfolk, Hunstanton is unique in that it faces west though it is on the east coast of the United Kingdom. Known locally as “Sunny Hunny”, Hunstanton faces The Wash, and though it does not get as crowded as it did in its heyday, it still attracts plenty of summer time visitors drawing people from the city of Norwich and the surrounding areas. Hunstanton has always been a popular day-trip resort and continues to be so. Hunstanton is to the north-east of King’s Lynn and to the west of Sheringham.
