Cycling

One of Britain’s oldest residential streets. Dating from the 14th century it’s a worth while visit for an cycle tour in Wells.

Hiking

Always lovely to see these and walk up to the small hidden path at the top which takes you onto the road. If you are lucky sometimes you can hear the music students practising as you walk by.
