Exploring the sites of Wells Somerset

- 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

The aim is we are going to step foot in every country in the world before we die - or die trying !. So stayed tuned for more clips as we TREAD the Globe in either Trudy the TREAD camper van or armed with our backpacks!

Hi Darren - glad you enjoyed it , we love to see different things all the time - I supposed that is the thing about being middle aged !! you want cool stuff and clever stuff - every day is different !! lol m xx
The architecture was goosebump raising! How stunning was that architecture for all those many years ago. BTW love Hot Fuzz!
Ha Ha - love Hot Fuzz !!! LOL - yep we have been a few times for a walk about town and to the Cathedral on a rainy day and every time it still feels cool ...... it is great place for bars and restaurants too !!! 🤗😀👍 - PS I have been informed that the stripey cows are Belted Galloway Cows !!!
I was at Bishops Palace, last Sunday, doing a photo shoot with a group of photographers, MUAs (Make-up Artists) and models called The Dream Team. The Dream Team is a Bristol based Facebook Team but have members from all over the West & South West of England made up of MUAs, Stylists, Designers, Models and Photographers and meet up for a shoot once sometimes twice a month for a themed photo shoot. Great video I really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing more of your adventures.

Lovely lovely Somerset - super place and where Chris spent some of his childhood - glad you liked it - kind regards Marianne and Chris xx 😍🌴😎😘
I live here it’s not all it seems
It is a lovely magical place to visit- very close to Glastonbury. Sorry replying to you as I watch the Bald Explorer as well! So nice to find your comment
Must take the Bunny there one day or three. Maybe a weekend away? Later in the year?
Thank you, now I want to visit Wells too! Do you have any campsite/wildcamping suggestion?
Hi - Thanks for the lovely comment - we use park 4 night to find our wild camping spots (not sponsored to say that 😇) or if you want a nice paid parking there is an adult only site in Rodney Stoke behind the pub or Pridy farm shop and they do a lovely breakfast !!
