Things to Do

Bishop's Palace

The Bishop's Palace, protected by high defensive walls, a moat and gatehouse with drawbridge and portcullis, has been home to the Bishops of Bath and Wells for 800 years and is probably the most perfect and complete surviving example of a medieval bishop's palace. The state rooms and gardens are open to the public on certain days. The swans on the moat ask for food by ringing a bell near the drawbridge.
