Calling channel 12

Whether approaching Wells Harbour from the Blakeney Overfalls, the South Race, the Woolpack or the Burnham Flats, you will have no difficulty in laying and holding a course for the Wells Leading Buoy. The water, though quite shallow in parts, presents few hazards and the tides are not overly powerful. A useful homing guide is the long plantation of fir trees at Holkham Meals... Wells lies immediately at the Eastern end of this plantation.

Prior to, or on, arrival at the Leading Buoy, it is advisable to call the Harbour Master on VHF Channel 12 ("Wells Harbour"). He will then advise you of the entry time. If you are attempting to enter at night or are unsure, the Harbour Launch is often available to escort visitors into the harbour and up to the quayside. If entering at night, a good spotlight or torch will be helpful.

The entrance channel is continuously dredged; for up-to-date access times, contact the Harbour Master.

Thank you for your visits, I appreciate you stopping by
