We had no intention of travelling to Wells. Infact neither Cam nor I had ever heard of the place! Cam happened to see it mentioned on a cycling page link he found on Facebook. So, we made a last minute decision to take a look.
....and as the rural landscape suddenly changed to a narrow residential road, lined with weathered stone houses, leading into town...we were not disappointed!
I recommend to EVERYONE!! who may be travelling to the UK, please stop a while to take a look at this little medieval gem.
Surrounded by endless rolling hills and picturesque landscapes, historic cobblestone laneways and stone buildings there stands a central breathtaking pristine 13th century built cathedral. We fell in love with this little town....which apparently they call a city due to the presence of the cathedral....but really ......it is a small medieval town. Who are they trying to fool here?
Can you just please look at the camera kids...just for a second!!!! Please!.....this is actually how most of our photos start off! Thank goodness for digital cameras.
Now that wasn't too hard! Thank you!
The old gate house to the estate. ... now some lucky person's home. We loved turning into this driveway everyday. Our little Annexe was further up the lane.
Our little Annexe up the laneway.
Again we were impressed by the AirBNB accommodation and very lovely host and can't recommend Airbnb enough to all travellers wanting a bit more space and homely comforts...and room for your husband to cook for you!
Two weeks in and Oskar and Ivy are still coping really well with the change of scene, but are testing our boundaries more and more. We do need to find ways for them to interact with other kids more often though as they are really craving it. Two kids came to play at the family's house we were staying at and Oskar and Ivy went nutso!
In the meantime though I must say they are playing better than ever together.
The temperature ranged from lows of 3 oC and highs of 12 oC but stayed clear enough for us to get and and explore in between the rain.
Our chilly days exploring Wells will follow shortly..........
Great pics guys and wonderful to read all about your adventures. Looks beautiful although I think we would struggle with the chill factor!! Still in shorts and t-shirts here apart from the mornings! Stay safe and I look forward to reading the next instalment. xx
