About Wells, Somerset

Wells the smallest city in England, nestling at the foot of the Mendip Hills is a conservation miracle, its historic core preserved almost intact from the Middle Ages. The magnificent cathedral of St. Andrew and green are jewels in a crown of ancient streets, glorious buildings and characterful shops.

There is much to see and do; Saturday is one of two market days each week. From the Market Place you go through Penniless Porch to the Cathedral, Vicar’s Close, the oldest complete continuously inhabited street in Europe, and the museum. The Bishops Place, again accessed from the Market Place, is protected by walls and a moat fed by the springs that give Wells its name. At the end of the Market Place is the Conduit feeding water from the springs down the High Street.

There are many places to visit nearby, Wookey Hole Caves and Mill, Cheddar George, The East Somerset Railway, Glastonbury Abbey, the Lake Village at Meare and Clarks Village outlet shopping centre at Street. Parking in Wells on a Saturday can be a problem, you are advised if you visit on this day to find a parking space and walk, nothing is very far. Sunday is a quieter day both in the city and the exhibition.

For those wishing to stay over the weekend or longer the phone number of Wells Tourist Information Centre is 01749 679640. There is a good range of places to eat in the city from fish and chips to top class hotels. The refreshment room within Railwells serves reasonably priced home made food all day, starting with breakfast baps in the morning.
