Episode Details

In this episode of Follow the Journey, Clara and Miles begin a traveler’s day at Wells Cathedral, starting just across the Cathedral Green at the Swan Hotel. From the first glimpse of the West Front to the Welcome Desk, bookstore, café, and the beloved Basil the Cathedral Cat, they introduce Wells not as a museum, but as a living place of worship, hospitality, music, and memory.

Along the way, they explore the Song School, the Quire, the Nave, and the famous scissor arches, showing how each space helps shape the sound, rhythm, and life of the cathedral. It’s an educational, witty, and warmly guided walk through one of England’s most extraordinary sacred buildings as the Choir of St. James prepares for its residency there.
