Cheddar is a beautiful village in the heart of Somerset. Well known for Cheddar Gorge and its famous cheeses, a holiday to this peaceful village is the perfect destination for those wishing to experience the beautiful countryside.
At around 400ft deep and three miles long, Cheddar Gorge is Britain's largest gorge and offers spectacular views of the surrounding area and a fun, insightful day for those wanting to venture into the caves.
Explore Gough's Cave, a naturally formed cave where, in 1903, the Cheddar Man, a 9,000-year-old skeleton, was discovered. If you're after some traditional entertainment, why not head across to Wookey Hole. This is a great attraction for families as it displays the area's history in a fun and exciting way. Along with a traditional fairground arcade, the Legend of the Witch of Wookey is described on a tour of the caves.
A walk in the area certainly won't disappoint. The Cheddar Gorge Walk takes through the gorge and along the Cheddar Cliffs, where you'll be rewarded with extensive views over the Somerset countryside. You can also visit Wells the UK's smallest city!
