Wells, England

Wells Cathedral is thought to be one of the most beautiful of English churches. It's original foundation dates back to the 700s, although most of the current structure was built between 1100 and 1400. It has an unusual inverted arch inside over the alter.


The choir was practicing for an afternoon service and I was able to catch two of the smaller choirboys singing in a ray of light that showed just on the two of them.


Wells is also home to Vicar Close, said to be the oldest residential street in Europe (I don't know who verifies these things!).


Other interesting sights include one of the windows from the Bishop's Palace, along with the moat surrounding the palace. It even has a drawbridge which is permanently open now.



Of course, bikes are always welcome.....AND a good idea on their very narrow streets.

An English "Cottage"

What can I say? Our home in Wells, England, was the Manor Farm Dulcote and staying there was a totally delightful experience! I highly recommend it for anyone visiting this part of the country! Roz, the innkeeper, cooks breakfast to order too...I did NOT go hungry!




The view from the glassed in conservatory and the backyard was soooo serene. The sunsets were peaceful and lovely, although quite late by my standards (around 10 p.m.)


Mornings found the sheep hungry and Roz, our hostess, would go out to feed them leftover toast from breakfast.

One sheep, in particular, was quite curious about the camera!
