Wells Cathedral and Bishops Palace.

We arrived here after the cathedral had closed so we did not see the inside. This cathedral was begunin the late 12th Century and completed by the middle of the 14th. The magnificent West front once contained over 400 statues of Saints, angels and prophets, but many were destroyed.It is impossible to capture the size and beauty of this cathedral on film.
The Bishops Palace has a moat all around it and looks toward the Cathedral.I know I have to go back one day when it is open and see more.
The beautiful picture of the Cathedral reflected in the moat of the Bishops Palace is my favourite shot and although I discovered the place to take the photo from the picture here was taken by Mattie who did a far better job than me.
