Our optional excursion begins with two notable villages, one situated at the foot of the Mendip Hills and the other at the foot of the Polden Hills. The historic cathedral city of Wells is England’s smallest city and is renowned for its well-preserved historic centre, narrow streets and medieval architecture.
Our second stop of the day is Street, the largest village in Somerset and the birthplace of Clarksshoes! There is plenty to see in this thriving village. Keep a look out for the distinctive blue lias stone, many of the houses in Street were built using the distinctive rock consisting of thin blue argillaceous limestone.

Cutting across the Mendip Hills, the famous limestone gorge is classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Site of Special Scientific Interest, and a Special Area of Conservation.
