Garden Attractions In Somerset

1. The Walled Garden at Mells Mells
This is a list of road, railway, waterway, and other tunnels in the United Kingdom. A tunnel is an underground passageway with no defined minimum length, though it may be considered to be at least twice as long as wide. Some civic planners define a tunnel as 0.1 miles in length or longer. A tunnel may be for pedestrians or cyclists, for general road traffic, for motor vehicles only, for rail traffic, or for a canal. Some are aqueducts, constructed purely for carrying water—for consumption, for hydroelectric purposes or as sewers—while others carry other services such as telecommunications cables. There are even tunnels designed as wildlife crossings for European badgers and other endangered species. The longest tunnel in the United Kingdom is the Northern line at 27,800 metres . Stande...

Wells (Things to do - Places to Visit) - WELLS Top Tourist Places
City in England
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 kilometers, Wells has had city status since medieval times, because of the presence of Wells Cathedral.

Often described as England's smallest city, it is second only to the City of London in area and population, though not part of a larger urban agglomeration. Wells is named from three wells dedicated to Saint Andrew, one in the market place and two within the grounds of the Bishop's Palace and cathedral.

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
