Day Trip to Cheddar Gorge 🥾🌳 🪨 ⛰️🧀

Join me for our monthly day trip where we get out of Bristol for a day of fun and adventure exploring some of nearby interesting historic towns/villages and countryside. All trips are arranged with public transport in mind but you drive over if you wish.

This month we will visit Cheddar Gorge a stunning natural landmark and England's largest gorge, boasting dramatic limestone cliffs, unique caves, and a diverse landscape.The gorge's formation began during the last Ice Age, with glacial meltwater carving the landscape.

On arrival at Cheddar Gorge we will allow some time to grab lunch before doing a 6.1 km Cheddar Gorge cliff hike which will last just over 2 hours. The walk will take in the fascinating cliffs and extraordinary caves with spectacular views from the top of the gorge. We will need to be careful around the steep cliff edges with sturdy footwear being essential.

We will catch a 10.55 train from Bristol Temple Meads to Weston Super Mare getting there 11.22 and then take the 11.40 121 bus to Cheddar village getting there by 12.40. If you plan to drive over meet us at Cheddar Village. The ticket will be £9.30 for an off peak day return to Weston and the bus will also cost a few pounds.

We can return by bus from Cheddar when we are ready. For those coming back by public transport we could always have some drinks and dinner in Weston if anyone's up for it.

Once we are done we can have a look around the various shops and cafes
You may also do some cheese tasting as cheddar cheese originates from Cheddar.
