The stunning Bishop's Palace has been the home of the Bishops of the Diocese of Bath and Wells for more than 800 years. Construction began around 1210 and continued into the 15th century. The Grade I-listed palace is adjacent to Wells Cathedral, another very impressive building within this historic city. There are beautiful gardens to explore at the palace, too.

You can enter part of the grounds for free, the other parts are charged. The building is well maintained and still used and much bigger than it initially appears to be.
