Wells is a small yet charming Cathedral City in Somerset, with a population of around 10,000 residents as of the 2011 census. Despite its size, Wells is known for its narrow, winding roads and its picturesque setting, often used as a filming location. The city boasts a rich blend of music schools, architecture, and museums. Located on the A371, Wells lacks a dual carriageway, so learners will need to venture further afield to gain experience in high-speed driving. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll likely drive to busier areas such as Shepton Mallet, Coleford, Glastonbury, and Street for more challenging practice.
During your course, you may also drive to and around local places like Priddy, Wookey, West Horrington, Easton, Green Ore, Panborough, Draycott, Yarley, Theale, Dulcote, Dinder, West Compton, Binegar, Westbury-sub-Mendip, Emborough, Rodney Stoke, Nettlebridge, Sandford, Ston Easton, Farmborough, Midsomer Norton, Axbridge, Blagdon, Upper Vobster, Paulton, and West Harptree, Peasedown St John.
