Gardens are superb, very well kept, tranquil and with lots of different areas to explore. There are several pools with lovely reflections of the cathedral. The gardens are definitely the highlight as there's wasn't as much to see inside the Palace as I expected, but it was still interesting. Entrance to the whole site is included with the Gardener's World 2 for 1 card which makes it good value. We had lunch at the cafe which was great as well so a very enjoyable visit all round!

what....you gave it 4 but didn't even go inside. yes i did. just the outside of it was nice enough. thought it was too expensive to get in after already paying entry fees elsewhere. the outside was pretty great anyway. will go inside on next visit to this beautiful city

Fabulous buildings and lovely gardens are well worth a visit. There’s a good cafe/restaurant and toilets too just before the entrance. Even though January is not the best month for looking at gardens we had an enjoyable visit as there are good footpaths everywhere. The one thing we didn’t find is a car park but there are two pay & display car parks on nearby South Street. I believe there are 2 spaces for the disabled within the palace grounds.

Visited the Bishop's Palace on a holiday to Wells. Much larger grounds and building than seen from the road. You can walk around the outside of the moat/grounds without paying for entrance. However, the grounds and planted borders are well worth it and the Palace rooms fascinating. We visited early February and there was a winter border, snowdrops and the moat, river and wells were overflowing spectacularly. The rooms in the Palace contained some lovely preserved examples of medieval through to Stuart architecture.

I visited in February 24 with my 6 year old and my parents and there was something for all of us to enjoy here. Beautiful gardens and pools, an old church and historic building, dressing up, history, cafe… the list goes on. The kids play area looked really good but sadly it was too wet for us to enjoy it that day. I was very impressed with the guided tour- our guide was very knowledgeable and made the history of the palace really come to life in an engaging way. We spent the morning there then had lunch in town. The cathedral is very nearby if you want to visit both.

Absolutely amazing place to visit even travelling with dog ! We visited Glastonbury and went to day out to Bishops palace and gardens really recommend gardens just out of world ! Only one recommendation please put more bins around for dog poos we really strangling to find anywhere in the end just see one bin but it’s didn’t made our visit stressful still was nice and enjoyable

Visited the Cathedral and Bishop’s garden. Got a joint ticket for both £20 so very reasonable. We can honestly say the gardens were unbelievable. The range of planting spectacular. Beautiful and serene. Absolutely stunning. And the Cathedral was lovely too. One of the best days out ever.

This place is a historical religious stronghold that offers a glimpse into the lives of bishops from bygone eras. It showcases the cope, worn by bishops during the coronation of monarchs since 1900 (with the exception of Charles). Additionally, you can view St. Andrew's Well, the primary well from which the city still draws its water supply. It's a fascinating journey through time and tradition.

We bought a joint ticket for The Bishop's Palace and Wells Cathedral. Worth every penny and good value. The gardens at The Bishop's Palace are run by the RHS from what we could see and it really showed. They were stunning. Great plantings in the garden beds, springs, stream, moat and gorgeous backdrops. Photo opportunities galore. The ruins also add to the atmosphere. Really, really nice. We did go into the building itself where there are limited, but interesting, rooms on show. There was a very interesting exhibition on the role of the Bishop of Wells in the various coronations. And a lovely embroidered 'cloak'. Well worth a visit. And get the joint ticket.

Wow what stunning gardens. The inside is very nice and interesting but it's much like many other stately homes. Very ornate and lots of paintings. The real incredile thing is the gardens. Lots of lovely flowers and really nice to explore. There's a fun dragon park for the kiddos and old castle type ruins to explore.
