Wells is one of the places in the United Kingdom where tourists can actually see and feel what it is like being in an English village. It is a pleasant mix of cobbled streets, medieval townhouses, and a charming town square, all on a compact area of land. Although minuscule, it is actually considered a city and holds the title of the smallest city in England. The size of it doesn’t take away the fact that visitors can kill hundreds of hours here just exploring the city and every corner. There are plenty of things to experience, such as the Town Hall, Film Center, Cathedral, and Community Center.
