The Bishop’s Palace
The Bishop’s Palace
Home to the Bishops of Bath and Wells for over 800 years, this enchanting medieval palace is not only surrounded by a moat (complete with resident swans who ring a bell when they want food!), but also has a flagstone drawbridge and portcullis for the ultimate grand entrance. Visitors can walk through a number of rooms within the palace to gain an understanding of how past bishops used to live, as well as explore the Great Hall and private Chapel. Outside, there are 14 stunning acres of RHS Partner gardens to wander, which include the well pools from which the city takes its name. Little ones will enjoy the ‘Dragon’s Lair’ play area in the arboretum. 42 MOTOR CARAVANNER November 2021
