Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey.Just 5 miles from Glastonbury is Wells which is the smallest city in England (population 10,000). Its centre is the marketplace (local markets twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace.
