Mallet, overshadowed by nearby Wells, but worth a stroll
around this small market town.
A long history here,
from the Bronze Age, the Romans, and a history of religious
orders.
There is a local market
on Fridays around the 15th century market cross, with industry
originally based on wool to be replaced by brewing and the
cider industry.
The West of England
Show ground is just south on the A371.
