Wells has the appearance of a quintessentially English village and is enjoyed by visitors from across the globe. It is compact, with cobbled streets, medieval architecture and a market square, yet is actually a city – the smallest in England to be precise! Given this accolade by the commanding presence of Wells Cathedral, it is situated in the heart of Somerset, with its name deriving from the three wells within The Bishop’s Palace. On the Wells City Council crest you will read the Latin phrase "fonte derivata copia" which translates "the fullness that springs from this well". Wells has much to offer whether you choose to visit for a day, or longer, and whatever the season. The aforementioned Cathedral, still a working place of worship, and The Bishop’s Palace and Gardens (now RHS affiliated), are undoubtedly the two main attractions, however, don’t miss the hidden gems such as Vicar’s Close, St Cuthbert’s Church, Wells Museum and The Almshouses. Walking Tours of the city are available to make sure you take it all in! Wells also prides itself for its many independents shops, cafes and restaurants, selling artisan goods and locally sourced food and drink to suit all tastes. With its position close to the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is an ideal base for nature lovers, walkers, cyclists and photographers. Close by you will find the well-known destinations of Glastonbury, famous for both its music festival and Tor, Street and Bath, the Somerset seaside towns of Burnham-on-Sea and Weston-super-Mare, Stonehenge and Wookey Hole.

Wells, the smallest city in England is 11 miles north of Charlton Adam. The 12th century cathedral is free to visit however a small donation towards the up keep of the cathedral is welcome and your visit will certainly be worth while. Tickets for informative tours are available via Eventbrite. Don't forget to walk around the moat surrounding the Bishops palace and visit the Vicars' Close, the oldest continuously inhabited street in Europe. Wells has a very attractive high street and there are several places to enjoy a coffee or meal.
