THE BEAUTIFUL CITY THAT'S 1 OF UK'S SMALLEST BUT ALSO 1 OF ITS BEST PLACES TO LIVE
One of the UK's smallest cities, Wells in Somerset, was named one of the best places to live.
Despite its size, it boasts a rich history, a bustling shopping scene, and excellent transport links.
The city, which was recognised by The Sunday Times in 2020, is home to the Grade I listed Cathedral, parts of which date back to the tenth century.
Other historical sites include the city's namesake wells, three water springs located across the city.
While they don't have healing powers, they are a popular tourist attraction for their tranquillity and beautiful surrounding gardens.
The city is also surrounded by green spaces, including the Somerset Levels and the Mendip Hills, with Stonehenge and Cheddar Gorge nearby for day trips.
For those who enjoy shopping, the city hosts a popular twice-weekly market with a wide variety of traders.
The Sunday Times Guide recommends Goodfellows near the cathedral for seafood.
The city's architecture is another highlight, featuring medieval homes and townhouses with views of the cathedral.
To get there from London, the quickest way is by train to Castle Cary station, which is 14 miles from Wells and has services to London Paddington taking 1 hour 37 minutes.
