The watch-tower is ideally positioned overlooking the tidal Outer Harbour Channel used by all vessels entering the picturesque North Norfolk port of Wells-next-the-Sea.
As well as watching over our local leisure sailors, a busy sailing school, windsurfers and water skiers and twelve inshore fishing boats we have an increasingly busy Outer Harbour used by the windfarm support vessels serving the Sheringham Shoal Windfarm.
We also have extensive views over the beach and the tidal area of Bob Halls Sand and a distant view of the the Rotterdam to Hull east coast shipping lane.
Visitor Policy
Visitors are normally most welcome at the lookout although only two at a time please as there is not much room.
In the event of an incident the duty watch-keeper will ask visitors to leave.
Access
The approach to the lookout is via 5 wooden steps to a metal walkway,
so disabled access is difficult.
All Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
No dogs allowed except for guide dogs.
