Wells ~ a brilliant little cathedral city

My wife and I love visiting Wells. We live about 30 minutes' drive away and go there often to walk around the cathedral environs, which include the Bishop's Palace and moat. The cathedral itself is magnificent and affords many a photo opportunity ~ both inside and out. The unique, cobbled Vicar's Close is also well worth a visit and the architecture all around that area is wonderfully photogenic.

The town is blessed with a number of good eateries ~ from great little tea shops to full-blown restaurants, and the cathedral itself has an excellent cafe in part of the cloisters. The walk across the parkland from one corner of the moat is also very pleasant and gives another fine view of the cathedral on the way back.

If you're staying anywhere near to Wells on a holiday or weekend break I recommend a visit. We never have any trouble parking and have never come home disappointed!
