More about The Bishop’s Palace
The Bishop’s Palace is the 800 year old home of the Bishops of Bath & Wells.
The Medieval palace is also home to the wells and ancient springs that give the City of Wells its name, and the famous mute swans that ring a bell alongside the Gatehouse when they want their food.
The palace buildings that are open to the public include a Medieval undercroft (church crypt), a Long Gallery hung with portraits of former bishops, an exhibition space and a chapel.
In addition to inside, visitors can also explore outside, which is made up of 14 acres of gardens and includes an arboretum, the ruined Great Hall, waterfalls and well pools.
