Wells is the smallest city in England, with only around 10,000 residents — and its medieval centre is still remarkably intact.
A street planned in the 14th century
Vicars' Close, beside Wells Cathedral, was begun in 1348 and finished in 1430. It is widely described as the oldest continuously inhabited residential street in Europe, and the historian John Julius Norwich called it a planned street of the mid-14th century, a rarity that survives.
A cathedral that started a style
Wells Cathedral was begun around 1175 and is regarded as the first English cathedral built entirely in the new Gothic style, which is a big part of why such a small city draws so many visitors.
Sweets still arrive the same way as everywhere else
