Walks in Somerset - Exploring Cathedral City of Wells
Today Julia and I are exploring very briefly the city of Wells in Somerset. We have stopped en-route from our return home from Glastonbury. Clearly in a short ten minute walk around we cannot do the city justice, so will have to return in the future.
Wells is a cathedral city and civil parish in the Mendip district of Somerset, on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills. Although the population recorded in the 2011 census was only 10,536, and with a built-up area of just 3.245 square kilometres,Wells has had city status since medieval times, because of the presence of Wells Cathedral. It is often described as England's smallest city.

Exploring the sites of Wells Somerset
Touring of Wells Somerset - Hot Fuzz & Cathedrals
In this episode we continue our tour of Somerset by visiting one of the must see places in Somerset - the City of Wells. A short drive from Cheddar is the city of Wells. England's smallest city.
Wells City is famous for lots of things but mainly for it's amazing cathedral which towers above the city. Ever wondered where the movie Hot Fuzz was filmed - yes that's correct - it was filmed in the City of Wells, Somerset. They even now do Hot Fuzz walking tours. Watch the movie before you come and it's fun trying to spot different filming locations as you wander around.
We started our day in the main market square ( the main area in the movie). There is a market there twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdaya. We were there on Market day and enjoyed looking at all the offering for sale - from hats to local foods.
One of the nicest roads I have ever seen is Vicars Close - claimed to be the oldest purely residential street with original buildings surviving intact in Europe. It is well worth a visit and to get some great photos.
Then have a walk around the Bishops Palace -a wonderful area to explore to the right of Wells cathedral, especially on a sunny day.
Then you MUST go inside and have a walk around the Cathedral. What an amazing building - they really don't make buildings like this anymore - A wonderful Cathedral which was built between 1175 and 1490,
We hope you like this episode - thank you for watching

Wells Tourism Video
Something I created as part of my IT coursework. Apologies about the brightness, the filming took place during Winter when it was kinda miserable, as is the norm in Britain, but hey, who cares? This was fun to make, so it doesn't really matter all too much about Britain's consistently miserable, temperamental, depressing and capricious weather patterns!

Wells, Somerset, England
The City of Wells is the second smallest cathedral city in England, after the City of London, but it packs a lot into it's small space. The cathedral, with it's magnificent west front, scissor arches, and it's 'sea of steps' leading up to the Chapter House. Vicars Close, thought to be the only complete medieval street in England; the moated Bishops Palace; and the twice weekly farmers market.

Wells-Next-The-Sea Walks was about 8 miles in distance. The terrain of the route was a combination of: a long sandy beach; hard surface paths and road section; paths and tracks through woodland and across fields. The walking was easy on level ground. Route finding was easy with obvious paths, good waymarking and good landmarks. There were no stiles to negotiate.
