Wells leg is the newest leg of Student Cross. It was formed to accommodate families who want to do Student Cross (along with the longstanding Peg Leg). 2006 was our first year walking.

We base ourselves in the Youth Hostel at Wells-next-the-Sea. We meet on the Sunday of Holy Week. During the week we do a walk every day, carrying the cross like other Student Cross legs.

Many years ago Wells-next-the-Sea was the harbour used by pilgrims making the trip to Walsingham by boat. During the week we explore much of the countryside seen by those pilgrims. We have trips to the beach, the near-by Holkham estate, Binham Abbey and Wighton. On Good Friday we walk from Wighton to the Slipper Chapel at Walsingham to meet the other Student Cross Legs.

Our liturgy is aimed at helping children understand Holy Week and Easter. We also plan Liturgy (in the form of night prayer) for the adults on the Leg.

The leaders of Wells Leg in 2008 are Bob and Maria Levesley and Dom and Sue Shirt. Contact them about joining Wells Leg in 2008
