    I live in Bath and I took the family to Wells on Christmas Day to have a look around. Both the cathedral and the Palace were closed so this vlog has been a welcome treat to see this amazingly informative tour of Wells. Thank you so much for all your hard work. 💯

    HOT FUZZ😂! One of the best UK films since the Carry Ons! Seriously though...
    This is another example of the exceptional work you do. The historic facts, the artistry with
    which you write, shoot, and edit. The way you weave music into the natural sound. Thank you for all you do❤. Looking forward to what you will show us in 2025!

    Incredible! Absolutely beautiful & charming from beginning to end. The City of Wells is truly charming with such wonderful historical medieval buildings & Streets. The Palace is really spectacular & the Gardens are truly enchanting. The most beautiful, peaceful & tranquil Gardens I have ever seen! Filled with the soothing sounds of delightful birdsong, rushing waters & such beautiful lush foliage. Wells Cathedral is also magnificent & truly breathtaking both inside & out. Spellbinding! The City is also so charming & cozy looking at night. Truly magical! Indeed! Your Narration is outstanding, as well as, such excellent filming & footage. Very professional. I keep saying this, but it is so true. You could easily have your Videos presented on any choice Network. They would be up to par & beyond any travel Documentaries seen on any prime Network. They are truly amazing & very Professional, especially this one. Thank you for sharing this delightful, charming & beautiful City. Blessings to you both in this Christmas Season & in the New year!

I really must congratulate you on both the superb camerawork AND detailed commentary which didn't bore like some do. I think this is one of your best videos and let's hope we are able to watch many more in 2025. Thank you so much for your efforts. Let's also hope we see more "Likes" to boost the Algorithm too.

The whole city is a wonder and it's nice to know that Elms Houses were thought of by those of note. Simon and Will you have been so thoughtful in your travels, it's good to see your subscription numbers climbing. Thank you as always. I hope that 2025 is kind to you, happy New Year.

    With such informative and well presented videos such as this one, there is no need for us to endure the cattle class airfare from Oz to visit these beautiful places in England. That cathedral is stunning and the city a fascinating slice of English history. This video took me (Sue) back to the early 70s when my daughter and I visited Wells and fed the swans at that entrance over the moat. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Thanks guys as always and may you both have a peaceful, stress free New Year.

    Wells Cathedral was in fact a Roman Catholic cathedral from around 1175/76. However, thanks to King Henry VIII, who who was originally a devout Catholic, very many Catholic cathedrals, monasteries etc. were dissolved and their contents plundered. This was because Henry was denied permission by the then pope to divorce his then wife. Henry promptly split from the Catholic Church and made himself and his descendants Supreme Head of the Church of England. It was after this that Wells cathedral became an Anglican cathedral I believe.
