- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Owned by the Holkham Estate, this very well equipped Camping and Caravan Park is one of Norfolks finest and gives immediate access to one the UK best beaches. We hope we enjoy our recommendation, which is one of our favourite sites at our favourite Coast Line.
For more information about our travels , images and other links check out our website here www.helenandma...
We do love Wells and although Pinewoods is not the cheapest option it is by far the best located for Wells. Let us know where you like to stay in Norfolk.
Lovely video as always
Thanks Graham that's very kind of you . Best wishes Helen and Martin.
Very helpful, we have day tripped to Wells a few times, never stayed over. Norfolk is our closest coast not far for us so now we have the camper (The Bean Can) we are looking at good Norfolk campsites. Cheers guys
Thanks Peta good to know. We live in Norfolk and now know it reasonably well so if we can help give us a shout. This is a video might find helpful on the subject of good Norfolk Campsites - th-cam.com/video/H67m9a0Q_hM/w-d-xo.html . Thanks for watching H and M
@@NomadicTreks thanks mucho HMT really helpful.
What a perfect location for a site. 😊
True enough
Another excellent vlog! And thanks for introducing Jon Björk's music to me....already added to my playlists.
Happy travels!
Thanks very much for watching , we use quite a bit of music by Jon Björk , we have a subscription to Epidemic Sound, so we can legitimately use it without Copyright Infringement. There is a quite a bit of his work on there and pretty good. Glad you enjoyed it best wishes Helen and Martin
@@NomadicTreks Hadn't noticed before tbh but the piece accompanying your walk into Wells caught my ear.....I've just spent over an hour streaming Jon Björks numerous albums.... very much 'chill out'-type music
Great looking beach huts.
Hi Susan, they are in deed. Something very British about them isn't there. We love Wells as you can probably tell. Thanks very much for watching. Best wishes Helen and Martin
I've been going too wells every year for the past 30 years I love this place shame they stopped using the train down there but great place
We love Wells Nick , our favourite UK seaside town , we are blessed to live just 35 mins away , but still choose to take the van there on occasions. Thanks very much for watching , best wishes Helen and Martin
Gorgeous place…
Good morning , we enjoy it very much especially when the big Norfolk skies come out to play . Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin

Poppy is bonkers!
Mad as a box of frogs Alan , fits in well here 😂😂😂. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
Lovely video as always both. Looked like a great place for poppy to have a good run.
A lovely feel good vlog 😊 💜xx
Thanks guys, it's a lovely place is Wells we really love it. We've been a meet up this weekend, bumped into some mates of yours Rob and Lynn. Always a pleasure. Hope you're both well , See you soon Helen and Martin
Hi. Have you always had an A class Motorhome ?
Hi , no we had a Bailey 79-4T previously for 4 years and before that caravans back to 2007 , but confess to liking this make and layout the best. It's a personal thing of course but it suits us. Thanks for watching and commenting , best wishes Helen and Martin
Pinewoods is fantastic but they have become very greedy with the charges over the last few years and it’s just now outrageously prices especially in the summer months
You're not wrong , the site is expensive it's owned by the Holkham Estate and they know what to charge. Everything seems much more expensive at the moment , we worry how young families will cope . Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
Hi H&M, There's nowhere quite like Wells! Poppy can run, my goodness. We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Pinewoods and a return to Wells at anytime is always a joy. Wonderful, professional footage as always. ATB , Helen & Dave.
Thanks ever so much guys , you're very kind. Thanks for watching to . It's really good to be in the Kingdom of Norfolk. Best wishes Helen and Martin.
Lovely blog and beautiful Wells. Not stopped at Pinewoods, never been able to get on when we’ve tried. I’ll never forget the first time I walked into the forest from the beach, I’d never seen anything like that before - magical. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning guys , hope you're both well. I confess to being surprised we could get on , in fact not only was there space, there was a discount for a Monday to Friday booking. Given that we are seeing Clubs offering discounts and lowered deposits, we were wondering if the economic situation is starting to show itself adversely. Thanks for watching Helen and Martin
I too have many safe places to hide things so that my memory can’t find them 😂 Clare said she loves Helen’s hat 👍🏻did I hear that the train has gone? Lovely little Vlog, got us looking forward to September 😊
Morning , sadly the train has gone , nothing lasts it seems . There is a bus from the site to the town, but it's only a mile walk along the inlet which is quite pleasant. Looking forward to seeing you both this weekend. Best wishes Helen and Martin
Hardback DORLING KINDERSLEY DK EYEWITNESS GUIDES Book of PIRATE.
In association with THE NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM.
Pages 58 & 59.
The pirates defeated.
AFTER FLOURISHING FOR 5,000 years, organized piracy and privateering finally ended in the 19th century. When the century began, privateers were still a dangerous nuisance - yet the navies of big maritime powers no longer needed the help of privately owned warships.
So in 1856 most maritime nations signed a treaty, the Declaration of Paris, banning letters of marque.
New technology also helped to end the golden age of piracy. The 19th Century was the age of steam power, and the British and U.S. navies built steam ships that could sail almost anywhere, even on a windless day.
Pirates, who still relied on sail, were easily trapped by the steamers. By 1850 only small pirate bands were left.
I’m with you on that one Helen, love a lighthouse ❤ I have 2 cockapoos and we love walking in the woods from Wells to Holkham. Anything to keep my 2 out of the sea 😂 Great video
Ha ha , our Cockapoo doesn’t like the water thankfully , 💦 bless her . She does love the beach though . Thanks for watching , best wishes Helen and Martin
Great video guys
Is the mermaids purse cafe still open? It has the nastiest old woman in the world working there! Just read the tripadvisor reviews 😂
Thank you, we're really glad you enjoyed the video . The Cafe is there but we didn't visit , I confess to not knowing about the reviews and have just spent a few minutes having a look on Google as you suggested. Wow ! . Think we'll stick with other options. Have a great week Helen and Martin
Excellent video, H&M, must give that site a try sometime. I love that iconic building in Wells next the Sea, that juts out towards the sea and is on stilts. I think it is now a flat or an office?
Morning , yes that's the old Granary and you're right it's been converted to flats now. Thanks for watching and your kind comments, Best wishes Helen and Martin.
Our friends stayed on the same pitch as you were on, two years ago. It’s a lovely location but too expensive for us, even in October.
Hi thanks for watching , I don’t disagree it is expensive for sure by comparison. Best wishes Helen and Martin
I live at wighton about 5 minutes drive from wells and there’s a lovely little places to stay here!
Thanks Leanna we know it well , there are some lovely spots in this area aren't there. Thanks very much for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
Hi lost you guys for a about a year i think... and your Instgram not sure how it happened but glad to see your still going.
Hi Good morning , really glad we have linked up again. We are still on Instagram as well @helen_and_martins_treks/ . Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
Glad you enjoyed a little piece of my home town,,,👍🏻
@@jacquelinehayes5377 thank you , it’s a delightful place . Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
The beach huts on the dog friendly beach now sell for a min of 90k
Yes I saw in the press this week , quiet a jump they were selling for 60K only a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
Excellent film as usual, looking forward to visiting the area..Keep em coming..
Thanks very much , great to meet you both today. Thanks for watching Helen and Martin
Guys thanks for this review we have been looking for somewhere in Norfolk but hadn’t found this site. We will definitely be booking it for a few nights.
Hi thanks for watching. I don't think you will go far wrong with this site. I think looking at your profile you have a caravan and car set up , in which an alternative is the White Hall CL (CMAC) the other side of Holkham Hall, 10 mins from Wells and in the village where Nelson was born. Not as convenient for walking into Wells but an alternative to consider. Here is a link th-cam.com/video/pKTHqui_nTs/w-d-xo.html Just to give you another option if Pinewoods is full. Best wishes Helen and Martin
@@NomadicTrekswe will definitely check them both out thanks. Although our unit has changed since we set up out account we now have an elddis 285 and have updated the profile picture to show this with one of our pictures from the Pyrenees this year.
Ps one of those huts are on the market £78, you get a cupboard - bargain as Lyndz would say
Very cheap at that price 😂 .
78k
Just got back from Wells yesterday and having major withdrawals already. Came across your video and it's right cheered us up. It's defo one of the best sites I've visited. Loved EVERY minute.
Hi thanks for watching , Wells is our favourite coastal town with out doubt . It's great hear the video brought you some joy. Best wishes Helen and Martin
Thank You.
Our pleasure , thank you for watching. Best wishes Helen and Martin
Hi Helen & Martin, Nice video and great footage of the beach, nice to see Poppy enjoying herself. Wells looks a good town to explore and our kind of place, we must add it to our ‘go to’ list 👍. All the best, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob and Gail, Wells is one of our favourites, so much so we are back in September with friends. It's a great place and we hope you agree when you get round to visiting. Thanks very much for visiting best wishes Helen and Martin.
We did like our brief visit to Wells last year, as you say ideal site for the town but for me just too big, I’m not a fan of huge sites, very expensive too but that said we’re on our way to Swanage in a few days and the premium for wanting to be within walking distance of the town and railway and castle makes it £50 a night on grass (with electric) 😳 the most expensive site we’ve ever been on! As a man with a father from Yorkshire I’ll be having the heating on with the doors open 😉
We agree totally, you'll be charging your power banks up full just before you home go to no doubt, it's the Yorkshire way. We used to work with folks who on leaving work would boil a kettle in the canteen and fill a flask to save boiling a kettle when they got home. We're bad but it gets worse the further North you go. 😂. It is a big site and we are with you on the smaller site preference , just location location location rules on occasions. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
Great video guys loved the campsite and that beach wow!! Good tip re the tides!! 😬 Poppy is very cute 🥰 So Helen needs help with her lighthouse obsession! 😂 love that campsite guys this is one to save ❤ fab pics 😍 xxx
Thanks guy really appreciate you watching. The Lighthouse obsession is a serious issue 😂😂😂. Exasperated when we see a new colour in a shop. We think this the best beach in Norfolk and we love Wells. See you next week H and M
Loved the video guys. That beach is absolutely stunning and you’re right Poppy did blend in so much so that it was hard to see her 😂😂 Martin you better be careful because the way Helen threw that ball, I would imagine she has a good right hook on her so you better be sure to behave yourself 😂😂 Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
Hi both , hope your well. We loved the beach here, it's a real happy place and it has everything apart from the mystical magic that comes with Hebridean beaches. It's good job we can throw a ball, I don't know how we could tire poppy out otherwise. Thanks very much for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
A part of the world i have never been, thanks for showing us around.
If you're ever down this way guys, you know a few people who can show you around. Thanks for watching Helen and Martin
We love it there and hope to go again in September. We also like to pop into the Globe for a pint, the food is nice too. We just arrived home from our five week trip to Somerset, Devon and Cornwall so hopefully I can now watch your European trip. We’ve been away in the van for 8 out of the last 9 weeks and I never seem to find time to keep up with my TH-cam channels when we’re away! Thankfully FB and Instagram keep me updated when we’re on the move. Thanks for sharing another excellent video.
Hi Sylvia, great to be out in the van isn't it . We are meeting the Dolittle's back at Pinewoods in August , it will be busier of course but we'll cope I'm sure. Thanks for watching this video and thanks in advance for watching the tour , that's really good of you. Best wishes to you and yours Helen and Martin
Oh that was wonderful! I remember the pine trees and those vast beaches. We had a lovely walk around the grounds of Holkham Hall and the beach, missed the cavalry by a few days. It’s definitely a place for walking the dog, we were doing 8-10 miles each day. Thank you for bringing back memories and for giving us ideas on our next visit. X
Hi Louise , it's our pleasure we are really pleased you enjoyed it and it brought back pleasant memories. Thanks very much for watching best wishes Helen and Martin
The beach could be anywhere to be honest it's golden in runs for miles. The Household Cavalry ride out on the Holkham side every year.
💪
Hi Helen & Martin, It is amazing how you keep going to places that we know well. We were at Pinewoods last week. My wife came here for the first time in 1954, after the major floods of 1953. She stayed a couple of nights in a tent with her parents. We came with our first caravan in 1976, with our 3 kids. At that time, the campsite was operated by the council and was awful, but we loved the place and have been going there ever since. Some of the walks are superb, and the coast hopper busses allow you to go further afield, or walk one way and take the bus the other.
Hi Ian , that's very interesting thanks for the background info . We have previously used the coastal hopper , it is a good option for sure. Like you I think we'll always return to Wells especially with it being a short hop for us. Thanks for watching Best Wishes Helen and Martin
Fabulous video Wells has got to be one the jewels in the Norfolk crown. I am looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.
Good morning , you're 100% right about Wells is it a gem. Great to meet you both in the week. Best wishes Helen and Martin
Very fast scooter ! 😂 lovely part of the world. Those beach huts are stunning, great stuff !
Ha ha , We have learnt to put the text on otherwise we get complaints about exceeding the 5mph speed limit. Thanks for watching hope you're both well . Helen and Martin.
