We first visited Gough's cave. I enjoyed the visit and the audio guides were OK. I sometimes find them... unsuitable.
Cheddar cheese used to be stored in these caves! Actually, some parts of the caves just looked like a gigantic melting piece of cheese!!!
We visited the Cox cave and did all the other attractions, including the mysterious, terrifying 'Crystal Quest'.... Ooooo... I won't tell you more, I might give away details which would spoil your visit.
After lunch we decided to go on the top of Jacob's ladder from which there is an outstanding view of cheddar, and we walked along the gorge where we got fantastic shots of the area.
After this long walk we went to a teashop where we ate an icecream made with local double cream... MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
We then headed off to the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company to vist the manufacturing process but unfortunately, the visits had terminated 30 minutes beforehand, bah! We still went to the shop and after trying most of them, decided to buy a wedge of mature Cheddar, with which we made sandwiches for the next 2-3 days. Yum Yum Yum!!!
On our way back we missed the last bus between Wedmore and Mark, so had to walk the 5 odd miles. No Colin to rescue us this time!
Cheddar is really nice and the walk is definately worth doing, even if it is hard work on a hot day.
