Parking on Armeria, NR23
I would recommend this parking space. Very easy to find from the directions and the parking space clearly marked, 10 minutes easy walk to the quay, a real bonus as finding car parking places in Wells can be a problem at busy times. The owner was very accommodating when we had to leave our holiday cottage an hour earlier than expected and needed to change our booking times slightly. We would definitely book again when visiting lovely Wells next sea. Thank you
