We were driving further into Somerset after after a long day spent visiting Winterbourne Down, Abbot’s Leigh, Ham Green, Pill and Easton in Gordano when our eyes were captured by the towers of Wells Cathedral. While not on our itinerary we detoured for a quick visit. Wiki tells us that it was started in 1175 on the site of a previous church and built over many years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_Cathedral It looks interesting and it’s a pity we didn’t have time to visit inside. Below are some photos shot late in the afternoon.

We then continued our journey towards our destination for the night.

Below is a photo from the following day as we headed north to Bristol.
