shop, an excellent primary school and two good pubs, the Manor Inn and the
Alhampton Inn. There is a thriving village hall and parish church.
The city of Wells is just a 10 - minute drive away. Wells is the smallest
Cathedral city in England and offers all the usual amenities that you would
expect including banks, doctors surgeries, dentists, a selection of primary
schools and the excellent Blue School and Wells Cathedral School. The High
Street is vibrant with a small selection of chain stores such as Boots and
Waterstones, plus a variety of independent shops, restaurants and pubs. There
is a twice - weekly market offering good local produce, delicious fresh fish,
meat products and a variety of street food. Wells also has a choice of
supermarkets including Waitrose, Tesco, Morrisons and a new Lidl. At the very
heart of the city is the stunning mediaeval Cathedral, Bishop’s Palace with
its superb garden and Vicars’ Close (reputed to be the oldest surviving
residential street in Europe). Wells is fast becoming the South West's go - to
place for festivals with annual food, literary, comedy and theatre events.
Tables and chairs adorn the cobbled square surrounded by fabulous architecture
and historic buildings. With both the Cathedral School and the Cathedral
