Things to do in Wells, England: The Best Nature & Parks
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.

Home to the Bishops of Bath and Wells for 800 years this stunning medieval palace is open for all to enjoy. Surrounded by a breathtaking moat with resident Mute swans, you can cross the Drawbridge to experience a true hidden gem in the heart of the City of Wells. The Palace sits within 14 acres of RHS partner gardens, including the beautiful well pools from which the city takes its name. In the Arboretum is the newly developed "Dragon's Lair" children's playground to tire out little legs. There are daily Guided Tours, a Cafe serving delicious lunches, cakes and hot and cold drinks. Dogs are welcome on leads. Regular events and activities take place including children's activities in the holiday time.

You can easily spend several hours wandering through the gardens, seeing the "wells" for which Wells in named, watching the swans ring a bell for food, along with touring through the elaborate Bishops Palace. Fun and interesting. Sit and relax, have something to eat at the cafe or stroll the day away.

A great soft play centre, in the heart of Wells, close to 5 different car parks. We're right next door to the bus depot and Wetherspoons.

Been here several times, and is by far the favourite. The new addition of the baby room with sensory equipment is fantastic, only thing is, is it is at opposite ends to the the bigger soft play so tricky if you have more than 1 child and of different ages. Toddler area, and a great favourite is the bouncy music dome outside, there is an adventure course but my son won’t go in it because it’s too dark. Food is great, but mostly no food is consumed because my son is far too busy!!!
