There will be some rocky paths and stiff climbs, but all of your efforts will be well rewarded by the jaw-dropping beauty around you! * Explore mysterious chambers of Gough's and Cox's Caves, that are over 500,000 years old! Marvel at the incredible rock formations and the outstandingly beautiful chambers of St Paulās Cathedral, Solomonās Temple and Aladdinās Cave. * See picturesque stalagmites and stalactites inside the caves. * Visit the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company, and see how the only authentic Cheddar cheese is made! **DISTANCE & DIFFICULTY** Distance: 3 miles (5km).
