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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In case you don't know us - let us introduce ourselves - we are Chris & Marianne.
