Dist:0.1km<br/>Built 150 years go on a triangle of land where a toll house once stood, the fountain was created from the overflow of natural springs which have an average flow of 100,000 gallons a day. The water is hard (calcium carbonate), and the fountain has increased in size over the years as minerals build up the rock surface.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The route of the Wells bypass was the subject of much heated debate. This section leads out of Wells, bypasses the village of Dulcote and eventually rejoins the main Shepton Mallet road beyond. Park woods lie to the left, and the hill in the background is the north side of Dulcote Hill.

Dist:1.0km east<br/>The church of St. Michael & all Angels is located just behind Dinder house. A Norman dragon head carving that is set above the south chapel window is all that survives a much earlier building. Initially a chapelry of Wells, the church of St. Michael became a prebend of wells Cathedral in 1268 and subsequently a peculiar of the Dean of Wells.
