A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Wells' Cloisters and Cathedrals Discount Tickets

Overview

Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Wells. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll savour Wells' charm, where dragon slayers and medieval streets meet. I’ll tell you about the heroic dragon-slaying bishop, Bishop Jocelin, and how the town commemorates this dramatic event every 50 years to prevent the mythical creatures’ return. At Wells Cathedral, you’ll hear about spectacular Palm Sunday processions to the cathedral, where the religious community dresses up in their cassocks, surplices, and copes. The tour ends at the Wells Market Cross & Fountain, where I’ll tell you how William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, once addressed 3,000 people at a nearby pub. At the end of this tour, you’ll have discovered Wells’ charming streets and the delightful folklore hidden around every corner. I’ll also tell you how Wells is a favourite filming destination for British studios and let you in on some famous productions filmed here.
