Inland is Little Walsingham, an important centre for pilgramage since the Middle Ages. Travelling west from Wells is Holkham Hall, a fine stately home, the Burnhams, the birthplace of Nelson, Sandringham and Hunstanton. There are many other historical sites and family attractions nearby. Kings Lynn and the fine city of Norwich are both within easy reach.
STIFFKEY:
A settlement has existed at Stiffkey since at least Roman times, but it has remained a small village of less than 300 residents. Despite a number of noteworthy past inhabitants, the most famous was Harold Davidson, the village vicar in the 1930s. Rev. Davidson hit the headlines when he became embroiled in a scandal concerning London prostitutes. As he attempted to clear his name he found himself on the wrong side of a lion's cage and was mauled to death. Predominantly a farming community, Stiffkey is also known for its cockles - 'Stewkey Blues'. It will take a few minutes stroll from the village to reach the salt marshes, but is well worth the effort. There are also plenty of well sign-posted walks in the countryside around the village. The village pub 'Red Lion' serves local beer and food and the post-office supplies fresh bread, milk, newspapers etc.
