A visit to Wells

Wells

What makes a city a city? Technically, the presence of a cathedral makes a town into a city, so Wells is the smallest city in England, and one of the most beautiful in Britain.

*Highlights:
*Wells Cathedral - A Gothic tour-de-force
*Vicars Close - A 14th century street joined to the cathedral. It's the oldest existing street in the world, which still has the original cobblestoned surface.
*Bishop's Palace -The medieval home to the Bishop of Bath and Wells
