Gatehouse to the Bishop's Palace

Gatehouse to the Bishop's Palace
The Gatehouse, walls and moat at the Bishops's Palace in Wells, Somerset. The Bishop's Palace has been the residence of the Bishop of Bath and Wells since the early 13th Century.

Construction of the Palace commenced in 1210 but the gatehouse, walls and moat were added in the 14th Century. The drawbridge dating from 1341. has a working drawbridge.

It has been a tradition that the resident swans ring a bell at the gatehouse to be fed!

The Bishop's Palace has been used as a film location for scenes from Hot Fuzz, The Huntsman and the White Princess amongst other films and programmes and became the french prison in Poldark.

It was a lovely day and quite peaceful here. I liked the shadows across the walls.

Une porte monumentale qui laisse deviner la grandeur du palais ! Jolie capture dans ce bel environnement. J'ai apprécié la tradition sur les cygnes qui sonnent la cloche pour avoir de la nourriture ****
Merci pour votre visite très appréciée, Carol ! Passez un bon dimanche !

A wonderful composition, in lovely light, of this grand historic gatehouse Carol. I like the reflections and the shadows of the trees on the textured stonework. The curve of the moat and the lead the eye nicely into the scene. Thanks for the interesting notes.

Enjoy the coming week, Doug
