Wells Cathedral is a magnificent medieval cathedral located in the charming town of Wells, England. The cathedral is one of the most impressive examples of Gothic architecture in the country, with its soaring spires, intricate carvings, and stunning stained glass windows. The cathedral was built in the 12th century and has been a place of worship for over 800 years.

The exterior of the cathedral is truly breathtaking, with its intricate stone carvings and towering spires. The west front of the cathedral is particularly impressive, with its intricate sculptures depicting scenes from the Bible. The interior of the cathedral is equally stunning, with its soaring nave, intricate vaulted ceilings, and beautiful stained glass windows.

One of the most impressive features of Wells Cathedral is the famous "scissor arches" in the nave. These unique arches were added in the 14th century to support the weight of the central tower, which was in danger of collapsing. The arches are made of stone and are designed to look like a pair of scissors, hence their name.

Visitors to Wells Cathedral can also explore the beautiful cloisters, which date back to the 13th century. The cloisters are surrounded by beautiful gardens and offer a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the town.

Overall, Wells Cathedral is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the town of Wells or the surrounding area. Its stunning architecture, beautiful stained glass windows, and rich history make it one of the most impressive cathedrals in England.
