Today it was a beautiful sunny morning for a walk. Belinda and I drove to Dulcote and then walked into Wells and had a cup of tea at the Swan Hotel! The only blott on the landscape was a sculptural concrete bench, which had been defaced by offensive messages and ugly graffiti...
The pathway in, which is popular with joggers, brought us to the moat around the Bishop's Palace with a direct view of wonderful Wells Cathedral - see pics below...
Wells is full of historic buildings, especially around the Cathedral and the Vicars' Close - which is claimed to be the oldest surviving residential street with original buildings in Europe - see bottom photograph.
I am always interested in window displays and this morning I was taken with the surreal looking mannequins, in a Wells clothes shop, that had animal heads! There was a rabbit. wolf and owl - see middle and top right pics above. Wells is always an interesting and picturesque place to visit...
