The one in Wells (above) is a great place to mooch and wander on a Wednesday or Saturday. It has everything from local food to crafts, clothes and antiques. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635bcee20afbb0349905c95d/a9dc9494-cb35-4a5e-8c7b-d93b91d079b8/almshouses-2735649.jpg Going Out Vicar's Close in Wells, built in 1436, is thought to be Europe's longest continuously inhabited street.
