Imaging looking at the views from the top of the Limestone cliffs towering 450 feet above a gorge, 3 miles long.
Explore the underground caves and cathedrals of stalactites and stalagmites, beautifully lit.
Gough’s cave – a beautiful cave in Britain’s biggest Gorge, use the Audio guides to tell the story of its Ice Age creation, Stone Age occupation and Victorian exploration.
Museum of Prehistory- enter the world of our ancestors: flint knapping, fire lighting and cave painting.
Cox’s cave- a brilliantly coloured grotto with calcite sculptures, silent mirror pools, dancing fountains and an evocative musical score.
The Crystal Quest- deep within this cave lies a world of good and evil, dragons and ancient sorcery…….be brave!
The Lookout Tower- climb 274 steps from the valley floor to reach the top of the cliffs and the Lookout Tower.
Plus much more to see and explore along the way.
The Cheddar Gorge cheese Factory – it was the cheese makers in the Cheddar area who discovered and perfected a method of cheese making that resulted in the first authentic Cheddar cheese.
You will see cheddar being made and ‘cheddared’ by hand in various stages of its development.
At the end of the tour you will be at the unique Taster Bar, where all the cheeses are available to try and buy.
