Overall Rating
Excellent
England's smallest city, so definitely manageable in a wheelchair. Beautiful old cathedral and associated Bishop's Palace and gardens
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
The entrances to the cathedral and the palace are all level/ramped. There is a lift in the palace to access the first floor. The gardens are 95% accessible in a wheelchair
Parking & Transport
Good
Parking in Wells is limited - we used large public car park near the town centre - all disabled spaces were taken at the time of our visit but this was not a problem
Accessible Toilets
Good
There is an excellent disabled loo in the cathedral cloisters
Staff
Excellent
Staff encountered were all helpful and explained disabled facilities where necessary
Additional Information
This is a lovely place to visit because there is a lot to see in quite a small area. We were lucky enough to hear a choir practice in the cathedral, and the palace gardens are lovely. PS - the film Hot Fuzz was shot mainly in Wells - it's not at all like the film!
