Day 18 Glastonbury to Clandown

Day 18 Glastonbury to Clandown 

Kilometers: 8 (planned 29)

My back was a bit painful last night, so I didn't sleep well. Fortunately I'm not supposed to walk today either, so I had plenty of time to visit Wells Cathedral. By now most of my readers will know out that I have a thing for history and old churches. I love the architecture and the peaceful feeling I get there in these old buildings.

   Wells cathedral 

   Very unusual scissor arches

   The chained library. The books are chained to the book cases.

   Well trodden steps. Can you imagine all the people who have walked up and down for hundreds of years?

   In the Serenity Garden, so peaceful.

   Vicar's Close, where the clergy used to live (they still do). Between the Close and the cathedral was the red light district, where the clergy weren't allowed, so syn arch was built to make it possible to cross to the cathedral without walking on the street 😂

Tonight I'm staying at an airbnb. The house is very nice, but my room is cold and has a strange smell. Not a good smell, but I now have a free standing radiator in the room, let's hope it gets warmer!
