- This week I went stealth camping in Wells Next The Sea, Norfolk to give the ford transit stealth campervan a run at van life UK. 🚐
We parked up in my off grid camper in town for a night in the tiny home on wheels.

Anyone else surprised by the beach? 🏖 Check out the rest of our UK vlogs here: ruclips.net/p/PLbTGoy-q-M3-cEGof5GiVR_JEj5FZPPBO
Beach is beautiful ...Like being in the Med or Thailand without the flights or Mosquitoes ...lol
First visited this place over 25 years ago and went a couple months after you guys in August. Like stepping into a time machine. Just has not changed. Beautiful beach 🏖
Another great video, and ye leave no traces, doing no harm to anyone. Thanks for showing off the town.
Lovely comment. Thanks a lot Lorraine.
My favourite place in the UK guys , esp the Globe pub up from the sea front next to village green 😎😎👍👍
We can see why! Definitely one of our favourite spots and so close to home!
@@CharliePauly your lucky guys living that close as i am 6,000 miles away now living in Thailand but i do miss the place loads 😎😎👍👍
First went to Wells when I was a kid in the 1960's. The camp site was where the big car-park now is. Once dad had got the tent up it was late and mum didn't want to cook, so back to town for the Fish N Chips.... They were so good, we kids insisted we have the same every night for the week we spent there!!
Haha love to hear these kind of stories! Glad the it hasn't changed too much and I'm sure there are still kids now creating similar memories!
It's not a long walk from the Buttlands. It's not High Street you fools, its Staith Street
We said it 'the high street' as in the common popular street in a town.
And as a local, you will know that it is illegal to stay in the van overnight on The Buttlands. The bylaws are clearly displayed end enforced.
Got to love our British seaside towns where the waft of fish and chips and suncream fills the air yet time seems to stand still. Lovely vlog 💜
Absolutely! Something so nostalgic about it all! x
I go to Wells regularly and you were very lucky to get a space big enough for a van on the green at Buttlands, it’s mostly used by the houses on the green and difficult to find a space.
Guess it was our lucky day!
FROM HUNSTANTON TO CROMER ,ITS A REALLY NICE ROUTE ALONG THE COAST
Yes, plan on doing that at some point!
@@CharliePauly also lots of little side roads down to the beach .so possible stealth camping possibilities
Love wells ive been going there for 30 years great place and love all your videos
Amazing!! Wells is beautiful. Would 100% recommend the Wells crab House 🦀 xx
Thanks Emily! Deffo need another trip to Wells! x
I was born but not bred in Norfolk - Sluice road Wiggenhall st Germans just up the road from Kings Lynn. I'm kicking on a bit now, 75 at the last count but have lived in S.Wales for 74 and have never missed a year to return 'home' to Norfolk until this blasted virus came and spoiled it all. So it was great to have my 'shot' of one of my old haunts that is Wells via your video x.
Aah thanks for sharing this with us! You're right about the virus spoiling it all too. Thanks for watching our video! x
I'm absolutely loving your trips to the Seaside. They bring back so many happy memories for me and my family. We couldn't afford to holiday abroad all through my childhood but like you two we had so much fun holidaying in this country. You've got to get back out to by the sea again sometime this Summer. Funny you should mention Wells in Somerset as that is only 11 miles by road to Cheddar Gorge where you're planning to go next. Weston Super Mate is not much further. The Pier and amusements there are great. Graham
Ah love to hear this Graham! I think a lot of the subscribers feel the same so it's good that we can all enjoy the nostalgia together! Yes, need to get down to Wells in Somerset now that we've mentioned it and Weston Super Mare is another childhood memory box waiting to be opened!
So enjoyable guys. Thanks for the vlog. You guys are smashin' it!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Ahh my hometown, lush to see you here! xx
What a place to call home! We love it!
No it’s not
This is my favorite wells next the sea video
Loving these vlogs, all the places I went as a kid (I'm from Peterborough too!) So nice to see them again 😊
Aw love to hear it! Definitely bringing back a few memories for everyone with the seaside vlogs! x
Enjoyable vlog guys and great seeing Lauren driving ^^
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Amazing beach 🏖 with real beach sands. Looks amazing 🤩
I know right! Not bad for East England!
Another brilliant video guys. I love going along with your adventures. Xx
Thanks so much Jules. Glad you're enjoying them! x
You 2 really made me smile it is so good to see you enjoying your selves thank you take care see you soon xxxxxxxxx
Our pleasure! Glad you're enjoying the vlogs carol! x
Lovely seeing you in our part of the world. French's fish n chips best in wells. Next time your in wells check out the new RNLI boathouse which will house the new boat in the RNLI fleet called the shannon. Also come up visit Cromer I'd always be happy to show you both around the boathouse and take ya onboard a tour of the All Weather Boat we have here. Obviously once Covid rules relax. Also I have a Harley Davidson and woukd be happy to give ya both a little ride along the coast on it..
Ah nice one! We were actually planning on heading on to Cromer but had to be back for the weekend. It's on the list for this summer haha.
Broccoli and wine? 2 of your 5 a day right there!! You guys had such lovely weather for your visit. I was there on a miserable day and at 6.10 you can see a little alleyway going under a flat and I cowered under there from the rain eating fish and chips because restaurants weren't open at that point. Memories!! 🤣
Haha we'll cheers to that! Oh no haha, need to lock in a sunny visit this summer! x
Love all the British trips you take.
Thanks John! There'll be plenty more this summer!
I think what I like about you guys, you honest, real, down to earth, so friggin normal, especially for RUclips🤣 it’s like watching me & my wife on RUclips 😂 we don’t do that by the way, but if we did🤔 I watch a lot of RUclips, from people cutting grass, yep it’s a real thing, to things like Mike the Scavenger dumpster diving, why are your viewings so low, this is entertaining stuff, I’m blitzing as got 3 years worth to get through, having some building work done, so literally stuck in the house until they finished, learned a lot already about life in a van especially, just want to say, keep doing what you do, I’m sure it’s not all living the dream, but beats the hell out of most of our jobs we doing on the other side of the lens🥴
John this comment has made my morning! Thanks so much mate. Haha can’t beat a bit of ‘normal’ relatable humour. Enjoy going back through the vlogs and hope the building work turns out alright. Really appreciate the support!
Love Suzy and Steve bits 😍
😂 so silly!
briliant vlog, haven't been to Wells for over 25yrs. was lovely to see it :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.
arrrrr thank you! Grew up in Wells, but live in Sydney now days. Cheers for the trip home :)
Aw glad you found the vlog and glad you enjoyed it!
I was just getting mi phone out to look at the map at Wells when you said it wells by the sea .it done my head in I thought when did they move a beech to wells .if you head down Bournmouth way there’s plenty of places to stealth camp nice one Charlie Lauren 🙂🏴✌️
Haha confused a few people by not mentioning that sooner I think! Yes, definitely want to get back down to Bournemouth and explore the other 'Wells' in Somerset this summer!
But oh boy what a stunning beach it is 😎
Absolutely!
When you said Wells while you were in Hunstanton I thought Oh wow. Would be great to see somewhere I had been while in UK. But Wells next the sea was great too. Cheddar Gorge is close enough to the other Wells. Hint. Hello from the Caribbean. Still waiting to welcome you!
Haha should probably have explained that one a bit better! But glad you still enjoyed the vlogs. Definitely need to do Cheddar Gorge and Somerset this summer!
Ah what fun you had, I lovely seaside town
Now Wells in Somerset I know very well
My sister in law has a house there near the cathedral and my children and my husband and I spent many years staying there when they were younger. Lovely memories.
Cheddar gorge is also nice
Look forward to watching your visit there
Have a great week
Love Kim x.
Cheers Kim! Definitely surprised us just how beautiful the beach was with it not being so far from us! Wells in Somerset sounds like another spot we must add to the list now haha. x
We are going to Wells on Friday so love your vlog. ❤️❤️❤️
Ah hope you had a great trip guys! x
Walked my dogs all around Wells loads of times,lovely place
Agreed! I think we were the only people without a dog that day haha.

Thanks so much!
We are lucky living in North Norfolk and the Wells next the Sea beach is amazing but lot of lovely beaches nearby but not as sandy. If youre up there again look up Cley and at Salthouse Beach road no problem overnight staying with van.
Hey Bill! Yes it's such a beautiful area and thanks for the recommendations x
Went to hunstanton and wells on holiday when i was 15 great memories
Aww! They are such classic sea side destinations in the UK aren't they!!

Amazing and Enjoyable vlog. hugs from Denmark

That car park used to b the place for horse rides n the lower half was always market on a sat. Xx. The horse stables changed to cider mill
Love finding out little facts like this! Wonder if the market is still going!
@@CharliePauly I believe it is but it’s just a small car boot type market down in the bottom little car park infront of what used to be a pub x
Great Vlog As All ways Great Little Town That Was Nice To See Lauren At The Wheel Any Way You Two Take Care And Be Safe When Or You Going Out On A Trip On Your Boat ??
Glad you enjoyed it John! The engine is coming out this Thursday so with a bit of luck we'll be out on it soon!
In the area this week ... holkham beach best I the UK ... might catch household cavalry on their annual hols on the beach

Hi I live in Wells next the sea.So glad you enjoyed your stay here.Ive subscribed as Im so interested to see where you go next.xx
Awesome! Thank you so much! x
@@CharliePauly ha ha i was born here 43 year ago and am still here ha ha you two are funny happy loving life. take care.x
You 2 being all stealthy 😂😂😂 xx
Haha stealthy gang. x
You can usually park up just down the road from the police station, near the old railway station if you are there early in the day - all day and free !!!
Otherwise, just tell them you are gypsies and the rules don't apply. You can park anywhere.
There is a camping/caravan shop down the road from the old railway station and the sell water pumps.
If you walk along the beach to the west from Wells, about a mile or so, you will find the naturist beach.
Not anymore. Got closed due to pervert problems
Hey David, thanks for all the tips and advice, this is good to know for when we visit next time. Glad you enjoyed the vid! x
Good advice as it is actually illegal to stay overnight where they parked (The Buttlands). The bylaws are clearly displayed on each corner. They were lucky they weren’t moved on or clamped.
Ha....what are the chances, you've got me, kids and wife filmed outside the chip shop on ur way down to the beach!!!
Absolutely love wells-next-the-sea !
Actually in vlog? What the hell hahaha. It's such a beautiful place isn't it! xx
@@CharliePauly yup, 6.10. got my back to you holding our yellow buggy!
Hint: try Aldi Shiraz in a red box. We used to be 'wine buffs', very particular about what we bought. We'd even travel to Germany for wines not available in the UK and to a vineyard on the Moselle who was so exclusive you needed an introduction before you could buy his wine. Now we rarely drink anything other than Lidl cheap red, and this boxed Shiraz which is a lovely full bodied wine, as good as anything. And it saves us a ton of money. Sleep well.
Haha will definitely be passing this tip onto Lauren. Thanks a lot!
@@CharliePauly Hi, If you do try the boxed red, let me know what you think. We are both in our seventies and maybe have faded palates. For fizz, try Tesco Cava. It's as good as the expensive champagnes guests bought and left unopened my kid brought home when he worked at a casino.
Hello from Wells, Somerset!
Haha we'll make it down there too at some point!
Huh! I thought all mushy peas in the UK had mint. You two sounded like that is not so common.
As you were talking about Wells By The Sea, any you were saying Wells, I thought you were saying Wales. I was confused for a bit as you spoke as if Wales was this little town near a beach. I kept thinking "what is he talking about?!". Even though I have never been there, I knew Wales has more than 3 parking lots, you said you had only been to Wales once before about 4 years ago and you parted in the same square, i was just growing puzzle lines on my forehead, trying to figure thia out. Scrolled down to see your comment and then I was good. Great video! Thanks!
Haha sorry about that! I think I confused a fair few people by not explaining the location sooner! And no, it was the first time we'd ever eaten mushy peas with mint in them (and we've eaten a lot of mushy peas over the years haha).
Hi guys new subscriber here really enjoyed your Vlog , looking forward to the journey with you x
Thanks for subbing and appreciate the support!
Went there for my birthday a couple months ago x
Hope you had an awesome trip! x
Haven’t been to wells since
A week and a half ago 😉
Haha sounds like you've got the right idea!
Forgot to add that I google earth where you are and see if I can find exactly where you park etc. got it almost immediately. Lovely building opposite.
Haha great effort!
Just be aware that is actually illegal to stay in the van overnight where they stayed, They were lucky. The bylaws are clearly displayed on each corner of the green ( called The Buttlands). There are regular checks and people get their vans clamped. BTW The house they parked outside is called Clarence House.
Another great video, Wells looks a nice place 👌
It’s amazing
Thanks a lot! Definitely worth a visit!
Have fun.xx
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Chips again??
You’ve just gone up in our estimation 🤩
Haha the chip loving subscribers!
good vlog keep up the vid and stay safe lee
Thanks a lot Lee!
2:58. Next level parking.
Haha cheers John!
Stealth camping on the Buttlands ! Got its name as was used for archery Butt being a target
Nice! Love an interesting fact!
And there are bylaws (clearly displayed and enforced) stating that it is illegal to stay in the van overnight.
Lovely place to stay, great Vlog and that Custard Cream thingey looked yummy !! 😃 Trev n Sue
Thanks so much and can confirm that the custard cream thingy WAS yummy! Hehe xx
Amazing
Thanks
My wife and I were a cute couple about thirty-six years ago. Now, we a cool old couple.
Haha that’s what we like to hear.
What an amazing video, my friend! Nice camping! The nature is amazing.. Enjoyed watching. Cheers from Russia, Charlie , and welcome to my channel about bushcraft! Bestregards, Yuriy!
Thanks so much for watching, we're loving this side of England x
Little train at Wells closing, Holkham Estate unwilling to renew lease, they claim train not suitable for today's visitors, my kids loved the train.
Not strictly true. It’s down to a lease transfer issue
Wouldn't have a clue about all of this, but we certainly enjoyed our visit.
Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣😍
Glad you enjoyed it!
A bit of respect, guys, for the locals!
Yep not really the place to be parking
Not sure what you mean. We didn't disrespect anyone?
@@CharliePauly What I mean is you parked overnight where you knew you shouldn’t! What if everyone took the same attitude, there would be hordes of people parked up overnight! It’s just a bit of consideration for others. 😃. I think your vlogs are great, btw! 👍
If you like mushy peas look at the Hale and Pace ‘Yorkshire Airlines’ video on RUclips - you’ll never see them in the same light again.
I live 15 mins away from there, great little airport.
Thanks Robert I haven't seen that clip for years. Here's the link for it ruclips.net/video/6VLYpKGVBUg/видео.html so very very funny.
Haha this is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
I live in wells-next-the-sea and work at the globe!
Small world! We loved Wells!
I love the Globe!.
Hola!!! Great Chilean Merlot!! fantastic election! Saludos from Chile 🇨🇱
Haha thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying the vlogs!
How do you watch Netflix what do you need im wild camping
We use our phone data as a hotspot and stream Netflix on our laptop.
I grew up there...I lived in Wookey.
What a lovely place to call home!
that wine, is it Spanish? It looks like it from the labeling on the bottle.
Yes I think so, I would check however it's all gone now haha.
🤗
Lovely Couple
Thanks!
Hi guys can you please do more about Keswick please love the vlog btw
I'm sure we'll be back at some point this summer!
@@CharliePauly omg YOU REPLIED! that made my day and I hope you have a good one too
Power 😎✅
Thanks!
I am sorry guys but mushie peas just don't go with fish and chips in Canada, we use a tarter sauce
Haha we only ever have tartar sauce with fish over here!
Great info on camping place, what do you guys do for a living ?
Thanks! We're content creators, you can check out our story here: ruclips.net/channel/UCZMZw8zhGckmTWCNoivffMw
Just to be clear Russ, in this vlog they have recommended to park overnight where there is a specific bylaw prohibiting it. They were lucky not to get clamped and prosecuted. I haven’t looked at the other vlogs so perhaps the other sites are ok, but this one definitely isn’t.
Love you ❤️
Thanks for the support Daria!
Wow did Lauren really eat all that fish and chips? No wonder the toilets full 😅😂
🤣 brilliant!
Never feel guilty about getting more fish and chips food of the Gods.Take care.
Haha cheers to that!
I make the custard cream tiffin! How was it???
Absolutely delicious!
R.S.P. B car park was always good for overnight parking with showers and toilets. Its probably changed and Charged for nowadays.
Sounds like you're probably right!
Whaaaaattttt the actual bloody hell!!!! You parked opposite the pub and did not get on it!!! Have a bloody word with yourselves!
Haha we're not big drinkers!
@@CharliePauly not a worry bud, had to have a little go at you for that one 😉
Joli !
Thank you!
Hi C an L🙋🏻♀️…. Just found your channel…. Brilliant fun, love the park up info….always appreciated👌so happy to sub and travel with you🚐👏🌟
Aw thanks so much Lesley! Welcome aboard! x
Check before you take the advice on where to park in Wells-Next-the-Sea. There is a bylaw forbidding overnight stays where they parked. They were lucky not to get moved on or clamped.
i saw myself in this video lmao
Haha no way!
havent seen yous for a while.
We're still here, pumping out the vlogs!
