Things to see and do Wells

3 km north of Wells lies a series of natural caves carved out by the River Axe. Stalactites and stalagmites can be seen here, one of which is the source of the legend of the witch turned to stone, which will no doubt be told to you during your visit. Other attractions include an archaeology museum, dinosaur reproductions, mini-golf, a 4D cinema, a Victorian arcade and circus performances on weekends and vacations. These caves make a great family visit.

The A 371 leads west of Wells, then you go to Wookey Hole, you cross the village and turn right. There, a gorge and a beautiful panorama await you. Picnic area, parking.

Bishop's Palace dates back to the 13th century and has been modified many times over the centuries. It is the residence of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, who still lives within the walls of the north wing today. The building is open to visitors and it is interesting to discover its rich history and varied architectural styles. A special feature is that the swans in the gardens have been trained to ring the bell when they are hungry and are fed with wholemeal bread! A nice visit to make with the family.

A Gothic masterpiece from the 12th century, this cathedral is one of the most beautiful in the Southwest with its imposing façade. The West Front is twice as wide as it is high and represents the Last Judgement with a very special finesse. Once you enter, you can admire the magnificent nave of the building, as well as its 15th century library and old books. You should not miss the astronomical clock (14th century), a small jewel of craftsmanship that comes alive with a knightly battle every quarter of an hour, to the delight of visitors.
