Wells nestles on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty – described as England’s smallest city, justified by its magnificent 13th century cathedral – just over 11,000 people live here. Wells is regularly used for film and television shoots including Poldark, Hot Fuzz, Wolf Hall and The Huntsman. The centre of Wells – just a five minute walk away from the School – remains remarkably unspoilt and features many historic buildings, lively markets, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels and more…

The earliest English Cathedral to be built in the Gothic style, Wells Cathedral is also the home of Antony Gormley‘s sculpture ‘Doubt’ for 18 months.

Surrounded by a breath-taking moat, visitors can cross a flagstone drawbridge, walk under the portcullis and experience a true hidden gem.
