Wells captures the best mystical, religious, and spiritual essence of every city in England, maybe it's the Wells dedicated to Saint Andrew, which have been known to contain curative powers during the middles ages. Wells exists quite peacefully, with much less hustle-and-bustle than many of it surrounding cities. With the recent construction of the A39/A371 route, nearby retail shops, sports bars, restaurants, and hotels are quite accessible, a taxi hire company can be summoned easily on-the-spot from these popular locations. Three main routes lead into Bath, Bridgwater, and Glastonbury, and buses operate through many neighboring areas, but certain areas are accessed easier, by utilizing a coach hire company for several people or a Wells minibus hire service for groups.
Wells Cathedral demonstrates the best of what Wells has to offer, while it has two giant immensely moulded structures in front, pointing up to the sky, and the foliate cathedral is known to be "the most poetic of the English cathedrals." Its skyscraping, resonate beauty outdoes just about every landmark in Wells, except for the dense standing stones of Stonehenge, a remarkable burial ground from many years ago. If there's still time, the Bishop's Palace gatehouse and drawbridge has the most elaborate fourteen acres of gardens, springs, and remnants of the Great Hall and drawbridge; few other areas in England contain this much Roman history leaked into the current soil. With regard to the Church of St Cuthbert, made of ashlar stone, tourists seem to always mistaken this church as the cathedral, but its uniqueness is seen in its fine Somerset stone and beautifully arched, carved roof. The church is larger than life with its coloured, high ceiling, its new tower over the west door, and the main tower, which is one of the tallest in Somerset.
