Cheddar

Visitors have been coming to Cheddar for centuries to view the magnificent limestone Gorge, reaching 500 feet in places. The ravine boasts the highest inland cliffs in the country that can be viewed from the public road running through the gorge or from foothpaths along the top of the cliffs.

Riverside walks, tearooms, restaurants, gift shops, a small toy museum and the famous Cheddar Caves can all be visited. Cheddar cheese is known throughout  the world and the traditional method of cheese making can still be seen at the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company.

Cheddar village was the site of a Saxon Palace for the Kings of Wessex and has an attractive Minster Church, an historic market cross and a range of local shops. The Mendip hills are a great centre for walking, riding and cycling .
