There is just a 10 minute walk to the High Street and Wells is a charming little 'city', safe, interesting and with quite a lot going on. It's a good stopping off place en route to further destinations or to spend a few days relaxing in Somerset. There are a number of places people like to see using Wells as a base; Cheddar Gorge and Caves, Wookey Hole Caves, Weston Super Mare, Glastonbury, Street (especially Clarks Village Outlet shopping), Bristol, Bath - the city and the Roman Baths and all it's other attractions.
