Visit the magnificent city of Wells, Somerset

Wells may, perhaps, be best known for its famous Cathedral – and is a reason why it is a city in the first place. No doubt this is what attracts many tourists – but England’s smallest city has much more to offer than this beautiful building. Situated in the Mendips in Somerset, Wells offers a charming day out full of rich heritage and tradition. Why not visit one of its many tea rooms or country pubs or perhaps visit the Wells and Mendip Museum. Wells also has some great independent shops and art galleries.
