To the west of Norfolk, where the county meets Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire, you find the fens. An area of flat, some might say featureless, land, much of which is below sea level. The fens are criss-crossed with channels and waterways, and retain much of the area of mystery they must have had before they were drained by Dutch "Adventurers". This is a story of a trip to the fens, and to their margins where land, sea and sky meet.

Wells-next-the-Sea, or just Wells to most locals, is one of my favourite towns in North Norfolk. Until recently Wells had escaped the ravages of encroaching gentrification but that's beginning to change. The essential charm of the town is still there though, and as yet there are not too many shops for the red trousered brigade.
