Wells Cathedral

Wells Cathedral is located in the mediaeval city of Wells in Somerset. Built between 1175 and 1490, our Cathedral has been described as “the most poetic of the English Cathedrals”. We welcome visitors every day of the year to experience this wonderful and holy place. Wells Cathedral has unique features that separate it from other English cathedrals including the beautiful ‘scissor arches’ supporting the central tower, as well as one of the largest collections of historic stained glass in the country. The Jesse Window in particular is one of the most splendid examples of 14th century stained glass in Europe, narrowly escaping destruction during the English Civil War. Adjoining the Cathedral is Vicars’ Close, which is thought to be Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited street.

Free scheduled daily tours of the Cathedral are available all year except Sundays. A warm welcome awaits you at our Cathedral shop which stocks a wide range of unique mementoes and gifts. Our café is also open daily for coffee, delicious home-made lunches and afternoon teas.

Access Information: Wheelchair access, guided tours can be available for visually impaired visitors (please pre-book), equipped with hearing loop system, guide dogs welcome.
