Wells is an ideal place to visit by coach or in a group!

With its historic centre, magnificent cathedral, unique Vicars' Close, moated Bishop's Palace and its wonderful independent shops and twice-weekly markets, England's smallest city makes an ideal destination. Come for a day trip or a short break, as Wells provides an excellent base for exploring the local area beyond everything there is to see and do throughout the year within the city.

We are currently offering free parking and our team of volunteers can meet your coach - but only if you let us know you are coming on 07721 523487 or ross-young@hotmail.co.uk.

In September 2021, Wells won the Coach Friendly Destination Award at the British Coach Tourism Awards ceremony for the second year running - the first destination to do so.
