Wells, Somerset is the smallest city in England and boasts an impressive Cathedral in addition to a Palace.

According to Wikipedia ...
Wells Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in Wells, Somerset, England, dedicated to St Andrew the Apostle and the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, whose cathedra it holds as the mother church of the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Built around 1175 to replace an earlier church on the site since 705, it is moderately sized for an English cathedral. Its broad west front and large central tower are dominant features.[4] It has been called "unquestionably one of the most beautiful"[5] and "most poetic" of English cathedrals.[6]

The Bishop's Palace, surrounded by a moat, is the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. Also featured in the video is The Bishop’s Barn a magnificent Grade 1 listed, Fifteenth-century barn based in the heart of the Recreation Grounds in the centre of Wells.
