Overview of your Wells tour:

This day-tour from Bath will allow you to explore the region's unique scenery, visit a magnificent cathedral and sample a famous local produce - Cheddar cheese! The charming city of Wells is home to my favourite cathedral in the region. In addition to its stunning architecture it is home to the world's 2nd oldest working clock and some of the best medieval stained glass windows in Europe. I will show you this and more during our tour of the city. Cheddar cheese was invented near Bath at a place called . . . Cheddar! We will visit a small cheese factory where you can learn how this cheese is traditionally made and taste some authentic Cheddar cheese. The factory offers a VIP experience so if you like cheese please get in touch before booking for more details! The Cheddar area is also renowned for its caves and England's largest gorge. The gorge is my favourite scenery in the region. We will drive through the gorge and you will have the option to climb to a fantastic viewpoint before we return to Bath.

Your Wells tour itinerary

• I will collect you at 8:30am from Bath and drive you to Wells, 1 hour away. • I will take you on a 2-hour walking tour of Wells. We will visit the Market Place, Wells Cathedral and Vicars Close. We will also stop at the Bishops Palace (we do not go inside the Palace). • After lunch at a local pub we will drive to a small Cheddar cheese factory in Cheddar, approx. 25 minutes from Wells. We will visit their Visitor Centre to learn how Cheddar cheese is traditionally made and taste their different cheeses. • After visiting Cheddar we will drive through the spectacular Cheddar Gorge and stop to walk to a fantastic viewpoint over the gorge. The 30-minute walk to the viewpoint includes a steep 15-minute ascent on uneven ground which can be muddy and slippery when there has been rain so this stop is optional depending upon your interest and level of mobility - I can alternatively drive you to a great viewpoint over the local area. • After visiting the gorge we will take a scenic 55-minute drive back to Bath.

Transportation Details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Other

I will drive you in my air-conditioned vehicle - a Ford Galaxy. I am licensed to carry 6 passengers. The 2 seats in the 3rd row can accommodate adults but I would advise against these for tall adults. If you would like to climb to the gorge viewpoint you will need sturdy shoes as the trail is an uneven rocky path which can get muddy and slippery when there has been rain.
