Description

Wells & Mendip Museum is a fascinating treasure trove of local history and culture. Founded in 1893 by Herbert E. Balch, it offers an extraordinary journey through the history of the Mendip region.

The museum features impressive geological, archaeological and natural history collections, including a skeleton allegedly belonging to the Witch of Wookey Hole!

An unforgettable experience is provided by a display of World War I trenches and a unique collection of 18th-century samplers. For geology enthusiasts, a real gem is the ichthyosaur specimen discovered in the Lias rocks of Glastonbury.
