Stops on this route
Underground river caves with dramatic chambers lit by coloured lights, ending at a vast subterranean lake — legends tell of the Witch of Wookey who was turned to stone.
Start with the underground river caves — arrive for the first tour of the day to beat the crowds.
England's smallest city is home to one of Europe's great medieval cathedrals, famous for its extraordinary scissor arches and 600-year-old astronomical clock.
Just five minutes down the road — grab lunch in Wells before or after the cathedral.
