Stress-free travel to splendid Wells-next-the-Sea
Park the car and enjoy a hassle-free trip along the Norfolk coast. Travelling by bus gives you the opportunity to stop off and explore the coastal towns and villages by foot, without the frustration of hunting for a parking space, particularly in the busy summer months. You can also enjoy a pie and a pint (or two) along the way!
The North Norfolk coast is fortunate to have a number of regular, reliable bus services connecting nearly all the towns and villages in the area. The two most useful for visitors wanting to explore are the Coastliner and Coasthopper services.
The map above shows the towns and villages visited by Coastliner and Coasthopper 1 & 2 services. There are several minor additional stops in between those indicated on the map.
The red map markers show the Coastliner route, blue and yellow indicate Coasthoppers 1 & 2 respectively. You can zoom in to the individual bus drop off and pick up points along the way.
The Coastliner 36 bus service operated by Lynx (shown in red on the map) runs hourly, seven days a week. It covers King’s Lynn, Hunstanton, Burnham Market, Wells-Next-The-Sea and Fakenham, with stops at all the smaller villages between the main towns.
The only connecting point between the Coastliner and Coasthopper services is at The Buttlands bus stop, in Wells-next-the-Sea.
Coastliner 1, 3 and 7 day tickets give unlimited travel on all Lynx and Sanders-operated services, including the Coasthopper.
