The best Cathedral I've ever seen. An amazing step back into history. Most cathedrals are great but Wells is spectacular. It's so well looked after, inside, out, staff, everything. See to believe.

Truly spectacular! This is one of the most breathtaking cathedrals I’ve visited in the UK. I was truly impressed to see such grandeur, in the small quaint town of Wells. The mind boggles to think of the pure genius required to design and build such intricate architectural masterpiece. Take time to admire the cathedral on the outside, as much as you do the inside; there’s as much history, as there is beauty to take in. I highly recommend to read about the history of the cathedral, before you visit. There are Guides and Welcomers to assist with questions, and guided tours; which is the most time efficient way to get through all the highlights of this magnificent building. This is an enormous place, with enough to see and learn about from eager staff, that you can easily spend an entire day and may not see it all. In hindsight, I might have carefully reviewed their website, before my visit, to make the most of my time there, and to identify areas of personal interest; but sadly I didn’t. As usual, in buildings such as this, I recommend comfortable shoes to safely climb uneven and worn stairs, and walk on medieval stone floors. It’s also quite chilly inside, so warm clothes is a must. I found the map & guide pamphlet provided with my ticket, quite useful; it helped keep my walk around neatly organized, and I didn’t miss any must see spots. The cafe and gift shop were quite nice too. Photos allowed inside inmost areas of the cathedral. This is truly an extraordinary place, that requires leisurely time to fully appreciate. I stayed in town a couple of days to see everything, without rushing. I highly recommend a visit.

We'd been meaning to visit Wells Cathedral for many years and finally got the chance last Saturday. The cathedral itself is spectacular and has many wonderful features that any medievalist would love. We were extremely lucky to be taken on a tour of the building by volunteer Mark Saunders, an extremely knowledgable and lovely historian that highlighted hundreds of details we would have missed otherwise. We had the pleasure of meeting Basil the cat, too! <3 Thank you so much to Wells Cathedral and Mr Mark Saunders for an unforgettable visit.

This is a really excellent tour behind the scenes of the cathedral where you can really understand how the cathedral was built and now operates. the two guides John and Simon are outstanding in their knowledge and bringing everything to life. If you are just thinking about this, then DO IT

I love a good cathedral and this one is gorgeous. To get here from London, we took the train to Bath and then an Uber to the cathedral in Wells. Amazing scenery on the way - at one point we could see Glastonbury Tor in the distance. The Cathedral has beautifully intricate carving all over outside. Technically it’s free to get in but they do ask for a donation to help with the upkeep. Please contribute….it’s worth it. They do offer free tours but we just wandered at our own pace. Everything is beautiful from the floor to the ceiling. Especially notable is the clock and some spectacular doors. And the cat!

With this being the smallest city in England I hadn’t expected a large cathedral but indeed it was. Amazing from the outside and decoratively stunning inside this is a standout cathedral. Entrance is via a suggested donation but absolutely worth it. Check out the famous clock and the area where the clergy would need to carry out cathedral business which felt very Game of Thrones.

Stunning cathedral, we had a whistle stop visit here while visiting locally. With more time, we’ll come back again for a really good look. Shame about the lady on reception directly asking our 5 year old child why he is in a wheelchair though. Completely unnecessary and upsetting for us all as he’s at a sensitive age with regards to his disability and there was no need to ask such a question. He doesn’t need to tell people that he’s in a wheelchair because he can’t stand up or walk, that really tarnished our visit and we couldn’t get out of there quick enough to be honest. Perhaps some further staff training on visitors with disabilities wouldn’t go amiss!

Brilliant guided tour - Tues 28th noon- 1pm. So much knowledge, well delivered and really captivating. Brought the cathedral to life. Really appreciated the stories, anecdotes of people involved in the cathedral’s history.

A High tour experience led by guide Simon, with Geoff alongside, was a highlight along with two ground level tours led firstly by Clive and then by Di. Each member of the guiding team brought their own style and knowledge to enhance our understanding of this beautiful building and how it has been used and changed over the centuries. These well trained guides are to be commended for all they give to the visitor experience. Thank you team. A special shout out to Deborah on reception who managed to rearrange a booking for us when really her busy and difficult shift had already ended. So much to see and learn if you have the time...attending a concert and sung evensong as part of our weekend was a bonus.

A true gem of a building and well worth a visit. We did the daily tour, which was very interesting and informative. My only suggestion for improvement would be to make the gardens in and around the cathedral more conducive for wildlife, eg. letting the grass grow longer, create a wildflower meadow and plant more trees. The patch of green in front of the cathedral, especially would benefit from less mowing and more rewilding. Trees and wildflower meadows would greatly improve this area. Good to see that the cafe served vegan and vegetarian food and soft drinks in glass instead of plastic bottles.
