Top Things to do in Wells
The 5 Best Hidden Gems Things to do in Wells, England
The name Wells comes from the city's three wells dedicated to St. Andrew. Now there's a fun factoid to fill up your next awkward silence. In England's smallest city, you won't find the big summer crowds of nearby Glastonbury. Instead, you'll have more than enough room to sight-see as you please. And there are plenty of youth clubs to entertain the kiddies while you wander. The cathedral in Wells is the landmark attraction, but also check out the nearby Bristol Zoo Gardens and International Helicopter Museum.

This is a street tucked around the back of the Cathedral. The houses are fascinating with their tall chimneys. The close can be walked along with an exit via a narrow passageway and steps towards the Cathedral school. The road is 'cobbled' so uneven. Worth a visit.

Last time we visited Mendip Shooting Ground was 18 months ago, our close family friend lives down the road. We were met with a warm welcome by Craig (who has been there for 14 years]. On arriving we saw a tank sitting on the driveway, my daughter asked if she could sit in it, thinking she would be told no. Craig took us to the tank and let us in. After getting our cartridges, Craig took us to the arena where we were going to shooting. As we hadn't been shooting for a while he went through the rules and gave us a brief tuition. Then the fun began. If anyone wants to try Clay Pigeon, I would recommend Mendip Shooting School as there is nothing that they cant help you with. Already planning our next visit.
