3 nights at The Midden
3 nights at The Midden. We could easily have stayed longer as there is plenty to do without driving. As others have said, it’s easy to miss the signs to the site. Large grass clearing surrounded by trees with plenty of space for 5 vans. It is well screened from the road on which there is intermittent traffic. When there is no traffic you can hear a pin drop. Wells-next-the-Sea is a short walk along the road where there is a sizeable co-op. Its possible to walk on the verge up to the recycling centre but for the next 200 yds or so it’s on the road until the footway starts at the 30mph sign. There are no other paths from the site. Wells has excellent bus connections with the No 36 going to Walsingham and Fakenham in one direction and King’s Lynn along the coast road in the other. The CH1 goes along the coast in the other direction to Cromer and there is a CH2 beyond Cromer. The tourist office at the Maltings in Wells has timetables as well as a walking tour and map of Wells. There are good walking opportunities out of Wells along the coast and with a bike the Holkham Estate is within easy reach on tracks and quiet roads. We took the narrow gauge rail to Walsingham. It was better on the return as we sat in an open carriage and got off at The Midden but next time we will go by bus.
