5 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Wells That You Shouldn't Miss
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 is a fabulous shop with some very beautiful items, the ceramics particularly interested me, I bought a little dog which was very well made. The prices were very reasonable throughout the shop. The person who served me was knowledgeable about the products and very polite. He wrapped my little dog carefully. A pleasure to go in this shop. Thank you.

We happened to be staying in Wells when this market was on. A great market with lots of interesting stalls from olives and cheese to highly polished wooden trinket boxes. One of the best markets we have been to in a along time. We are already planning a trip to the christmas market.
