Wells, Somerset Virtual Tour | England's Smallest City and Hot Fuzz Filming Location!

We hope you enjoy this Wells, Somerset Virtual Tour through England's Smallest City and Hot Fuzz Filming Location!
Join us for a virtual walking tour through Wells, Somerset (with captions).
Wells is a cathedral city with a medieval centre on the edge of the Mendip Hills. The wonderfully preserved city is dominated by its glorious Gothic cathedral. The city's charming center is surrounded by medieval architecture. It's also famous for the number of movies that have been filmed here, including Hot Fuzz with Simon Pegg. See if you recognise the filming locations from the movie!
Wells has had city status since medieval times, because of the presence of Wells Cathedral. Often described as England's smallest city, it is actually second smallest to the City of London. In this 4K video of Wells, Somerset, we begin our walk at Vicars' Close, the oldest residential street with original buildings surviving intact in Europe.
We continue to walk through the historic centre, taking in Wells cathedral, Wells Market Cross and the moated Bishop's Palace, passing small independent shops and pubs along the way.
We finish our Well's 4k walk at St. Cuthbert's church, Wells. The Church of St Cuthbert is an Anglican parish church in Wells, Somerset, England, dating from the 13th century. It is often mistaken for the cathedral. It has a fine Somerset stone tower and a superb carved roof. It is a Grade I listed building.
You'll see that Wells is a perfect day trip or holiday destination in the UK it really is one of the best UK cities to visit.

Probably the best virtual walk video I have seen, thank you.

[@LivingWalks]

How good of you to drop by and let us know you feel that. I do hope to bring many more to you. All the best.

[@mindfulart8217]

What a special little city this is. Everything in miniature making it entirely charming!

[@LivingWalks]

Yes, MA we thought so too. Very liveable I'd imagine?

[@LivingWalks]

Do drop by with any thoughts or suggestions about Wells, or the channel in general. We welcome hearing from you.

[@sproutsrevil6508]

Was here just a few days ago. Fabulous City. So easy to walk around. Very flat. Not too big. Beautiful architecture. Great shops. Stunning Cathedral. Loved it. 🫶🏻.

[@LivingWalks]

Hope this brought back a good memory or two, we do agree it's a lovely place indeed. All the best to you.

[@relaxbreathesleep1127]

Thank you LW, for another lovely exploration of a beautiful city. I know what I'll be doing tonight... watching this and Glastonbury in full.

[@LivingWalks]

Ah, hope you enjoy it RBS!

[@KevinTheCountryman]

Wells, is a beautiful place. Very charming

[@LivingWalks]

Quite agree Kevin, it was new to us and we'd certainly return. I'd love to see it in the sunshine! All the best to you.

[@levy4461]

I grew up in Wells through my whole childhood, but moved to australia with my family when I was 13-14 years old, it really is a special place and I do plan to go back for holiday sometime at the end of the year. I miss this

[@LivingWalks]

I can quite imagine it's a place you'd miss Levy, I hope this tides you over until you can be there for real. Thanks for dropping by.

[@hexa9720]

[@LivingWalks]

Hello HeXa, good to hear from you, ah "Traumhafte Stadt"... would that be somethinglike dreamy city!

[@BoyInAFridge]

Ah yes - I recognise it now from Hot Fuzz! Nice to see more of the town...(sorry, city! :)

[@LivingWalks]

Yes, it's easy to recognise isn't it, a sit seemed mostly to be filmed in the market place! Love the film, we watched it whilst we were there.

Hi, LW 👋 !! Thanks for this most enjoyable walk in beautiful Wells 😃 👍. Another location from my past ! My Aunt lived in Bignal Rand Drive. I visited several times and always liked exploring the City ✅. Cheers, Don 🙋‍♂️ !!

[@LivingWalks]

Morning Don, ah well glad to have brought back a good memory or two. have you seen the film Hot Fuzz? It's filmed in Wells and it might tickle you as you'll prob' be familiar with most of the locations.

[@donroy7825]

@@LivingWalks Yes, thanks for the reminder on “Hot Fuzz”. I had watched the film when it came out. I shall watch it again and see the Wells locations afresh 😃👍

[@LivingWalks]

@@donroy7825 It's an intriguing film as they seem to film almost every scene in the small market place!!

[@BjornFjellstad]

Great upload, very nice walking video and this place is really lovely👍🏻thank you for sharing and have a wonderful weekend 🙂👍

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks friend. I just popped by and saw your Autumn at Forest Lake in Småland Sweden. Thank you for introducing it to me, perfectly lovely!

[@HurleyDeanSandpoint]

How nice! I'm going to look up the movies and TV shows that were filmed in Wells, Somerset.

[@LivingWalks]

Hope you enjoy one or two of them HD? I really enjoyed Hot Fuzz... maybe because we watched it whilst we were there!

[@HurleyDeanSandpoint]

Yes... I saw Hot Fuzz several years ago. Simon Pegg is one of my favorite actors. Looks like I am going to have to watch it again.

[@LivingWalks]

He's one of our favourites too! Hope you enjoy it all over again. You'll recognise the same few streets they use now I'm sure. ​ On another note, I wonder if you've ever watched a youtuber called Dentan? He goes silent campervanning in a tiny car, you never see or hear him, just see what he's doing. Strangely watchable. You might enjoy it?kzbin.infovideos

[@HurleyDeanSandpoint]

I just subscribed to his channel. I will start watching his videos. Looks interesting. Thank You.....

[@LivingWalks]

Hope you enjoy his channel, I find his footage strangely mesmerising!
