About Wells

Wells is England's smallest city, nestled in Somerset's Mendip Hills and renowned for its stunning cathedral. The A39 provides the main access from Bath and Bridgwater, whilst the A371 connects to Cheddar and the coast. Medieval streets require careful driving, but there are ample car parks and over 40 EV charging points. The cathedral's 14th-century astronomical clock features jousting knights that emerge hourly.
