Best Western The Swan Hotel

The bishops of Wells has had their palace next to the Cathedral Green for centuries and it is a lovely spot in the city. The interior was closed when we visited but in summer, you can visit the hall left standing and get a better picture of the adjacent ruins. You also have a cafe and bowling lawns inside then. We were left outside, studying the swans who ring the bell when they get hungry (see local tip) and walked around the moat to an area with a playground. All in all a very relaxing area these days. You also see the wells that gave the city its name as they surface here.
