February saw us steal a 4 night break away to Wells, Somerset. The weather wasn’t brilliant but what did we expect in Feb in the UK!
The site we used was a Tranquil Park adult only site – Wells Touring Park which is lovely, small, with half touring pitches and half lodges, beautifully clean, friendly helpful staff and small cafe/bar which was well used by us!!!!
It was about a mile to walk into Wells, either along the main road or more pleasantly along the Strawberry Line (a paved path along a disused railway), where we were escorted by more robins than I have seen in a long time!
Wells is easy to walk around and explore, has a good range of shops and a farmers market on Wednesdays and Saturdays – we picked up our lunch from different market stalls – quiche, local cheese, olives and scotch egg.
We explored the beautiful cathedral, chapter house and covered cloisters, visited Vicars Close (possibly the oldest residential street in Europe), walked around the moat of the Bishops Palace (didn’t go inside the Palace & gardens this time as was quite expensive. Apparently you can get a discount if you are a RHS member). We also walked across to Dulcote Village – you can just see Glastonbury Tor in the distance on this walk.
We had plans to walk the Wookey to Ebbor Gorge trail but after the horrendous rain we had on Sunday decided it would be like a quagmire so put that off for another trip!!
We enjoyed our short time in Wells and aim to return to explore more walks in the area.
