Wells is England's smallest city, but it packs in more than a millennium of history, intrigue, and quirky traditions. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll pass all the city’s main sights and hear the most colourful stories attached to each. The tour starts at the Wells Tourist Office on the Market Place, where stallholders have been trading since the 12th century. You’ll see the Bishop's Palace and meet the swans who live on the moat and are trained to ring a bell when they want food. You'll then pass picturesque spots linked to Wells Cathedral, such as Penniless Porch and Cathedral Green, stopping outside the magnificent West Front to hear its storey. Finally, you’ll make your way back to the Market Place, hearing tales of three periods in the history of Wells, from the drama of the Civil War and the bloody Monmouth Rebellion to the over-zealous May-day merrymaking in the 1600s.
