Wells qualifies as England's smallest and Somerset's only city, because of its magnificent Cathedral.
Wells lies beneath the southern slopes of the Mendip Hills, and provides a wealth of historical interest and beautiful architecture, while remaining a thriving business and residential community.
Among its many features are the moated Bishop's Palace, still the residence of the Bishops of Bath and Wells; Vicars' Close, claimed to be the most complete medieval street in Europe; Wells Museum, and the historic Market Place, hosting a thriving twice weekly market.
