Wells Cathedral, Wells

I live in London but I have stayed for short holidays in Wells on many occasions. The main reason for coming is to see the cathedral. There are plenty of places to visit and the countryside nearby is also worth visiting but the finest place to visit is the cathedral. It is set on the expansive Cathedral Green and the view on a sunny evening (when the sunlight shine on the west front) is amazing. The interior is also of great interest. There is always something new to learn every time you come. The guides and welcoming staff are always very friendly. Then there is the Bishop's Palace next door and the amazing gardens. What more needs to be said.

Great attention to detail in the elaborate stonework and carvings and the glorious stained glass windows. Magnificent organ as well as a very old clock which is thought to be the second oldest astronomical clock dating back to 1325. All in all though its no more impressive than many of the other cathedrals in this area and I found the Bishops Palace next door more interesting.

I have lived in Wells most of my life, so I had to leave a review for the cathedral. Probably the biggest draw for tourists to our town which is understandable as it is gorgeous! Very well kept up, staff has always been great every time I have come here.

Wow! What a marvel of architecture! Check out the inverted arch holding up the main tower. The stained glass is mind blowing and there is a very old clock here that still chimes on the hour with moving horseback riders👍 Very helpful and friendly staff allowed me to charge my camara battery. Thank you!...

Stunning inside. Beautiful cloisters. Staff are welcoming. Fantastic little shop, if a bit expensive. Definitely pop in if passing by.
