Wells with Holkham sits on the north Norfolk coast, centred on the seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea and the neighbouring Holkham estate. The ward forms part of North Norfolk in Norfolk, much of it lying inside the Norfolk Coast AONB. Visitors come for the wide sandy Holkham Beach, the pine-fringed paths and the iconic wooden groynes at Wells-next-the-Sea, plus birdwatching and seal trips from the harbour and nearby marshes.
Locally the character is a mix of market-town life and big-landed estate history: Holkham Hall and the Holkham Estate dominate the landscape with Palladian architecture, parkland and farming, while tourism, conservation and small-scale fishing and shopkeeping drive the economy. The area is notable for its nationally important nature reserves such as the Holkham National Nature Reserve, seasonal community events and a strong sense of place born from the interaction of village life and a working estate.
