10 Things to do in Wells That You Shouldn't Miss

January 13, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

The name Wells comes from the city's three wells dedicated to St. Andrew. Now there's a fun factoid to fill up your next awkward silence. In England's smallest city, you won't find the big summer crowds of nearby Glastonbury. Instead, you'll have more than enough room to sight-see as you please. And there are plenty of youth clubs to entertain the kiddies while you wander. The cathedral in Wells is the landmark attraction, but also check out the nearby Bristol Zoo Gardens and International Helicopter Museum.

This Cathedral is very beautiful both in and out, I loved seeing the clocks striking on the quarter hour and hearing the choir practising was a special joy while wandering around. There are some steps up to the Chapter House on the left which is a light area with a very attractive ceiling and a good place to sit peacefully for a few minutes.

The best architectural feature of the best cathedral in the world. Breath taking, and on four sides below the tower, between the nave, transepts and chancel!
