The small city of Wells is located in Somerset, England. The city is known for its impressive cathedral (with rows of sculptures on the facade), Bishop's Palace, streams that run down the city's streets from the market square, and swans. I have visited the city several times in the past; I did not live too far away from it. It is always a pleasant place to visit.
I visited the city of Wells over the Diamond Jubilee weekend. Like all areas in England, bunting and decorations was on display. The continuous rain over the two days put a damper on my spirits, but I still managed to make the most of it and take plenty of photographs.
The moat at Bishop's Palace is attractive with reflections of the medieval walls. On a nice day, many swans can be seen in the water. Obviously, I believe they wanted to keep out of the rain and cold on this day.
In the distance and around the medieval architecture, people feed the swans in the moat.
A small strand of bunting hangs outside of a window. I liked the cream and sage colours of this little house.
Vicars close, next to Wells cathedral, is covered with bunting.
Vicars Close is covered in bunting. This street was built in 1342, and the houses are still lived in by clergy.
A Diamond Jubilee themed sugar cookie is tempting; I had this at Pickwick's Cafe Bar in Wells (Broad Street).
I enjoyed this Diamond Jubilee sugar cookie in Wells.
A hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows from Pickwick's Cafe Bar was the perfect way to warm up after walking along the streets in Wells after a very rainy and cold day.
Pretty flower displays in front of a shop front in Wells add some colour to the dreary day.
The Palace Fields, on the edge of Bishop's Palace, have a footpath to the village of Dulcote.
