Walk 1: Cathedral Circular (1.5 miles / 2.4 km)
This walk starts and ends at Wells Cathedral, one of the most glorious examples of medieval architecture in England, an extraordinary work of art on a very, very grand scale. But that’s not all – walk down Europe’s oldest purely residential street with original buildings to survive intact in Europe today. Pass ancient almshouses, vibrant quirky shops, a haunted hotel, and back to the ever-present cathedral. Just beautiful!
Walk 2: Cathedral to Bishop’s Palace Moat (1 mile / 1.6 km)
Wells - a compact city with cobbled streets and medieval architecture. This walk takes you round the ancient market square boasting one of its original wells, before providing a taste of the dazzling Bishop’s Palace with its stunning architecture and glorious gardens. Pass the ancient Town Hall, walk through a playful park and alongside the Bishop’s Palace moat, before ending in the open countryside of sensational Somerset!
More Curious Adventures Await…
