Vicars Close—Lined with perfectly pickled 14th-century houses, this is the oldest continuously occupied complete street in Europe (since 1348; just a block north of the cathedral—go under the big arch and look left). It was built to house the vicar’s choir, and it still houses church officials (and one of the places, #14, can be rented for a weeklong holiday—from £509; find details on 14 Vicars Close at the cathedral’s website, www.wellscathedral.org.uk).

▲Bishop’s Palace—Next to the cathedral stands the moated Bishop’s Palace, built in the 13th century and still in use today as the residence of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. While the interior of the palace itself is dull, the grounds and gardens surrounding it are spectacular—the most tranquil and scenic spot in Wells, with wonderful views of the cathedral. It’s just the place for a relaxing walk in the park.
