A really beautiful City. The smallest in England. The cathedral is the residence of the bishop of Bath and Somerset. Lovely place to stop and enjoy a coffee in the gardens.

Nestled in Somerset, The Bishop's Palace & Gardens is a remarkable 13th-century medieval residence that has served as the home of the Bishops of Bath and Wells for over 800 years. Surrounded by magnificent stone ramparts, the estate is perhaps most famous for its picturesque, swan-inhabited moat, which is fed by natural thermal springs. Visitors love strolling along the shaded, tree-lined paths beside the water, where the resident mute swans are famously trained to ring a bell near the gatehouse when they are hungry for a snack.
