Who needs Grand Canyon?

At almost 400ft (122m) deep and 3 miles long, this is England’s largest canyon, and with its weathered crags and pinnacles, one of our most
spectacular natural sites.

It plays host to a varied community of specialised plants and wildlife, many of which you’ll get to spot on this exhilarating circular walk.
This walk will take us not only around the gorge but also via Velvet Bottom, Black Rock and you will have views of Glastonbury!

And of course, we will do a quick stop to buy some cheddar cheese from its original place of birth if the shop is open.

Trip cost includes return travel on a minibus and hike in the Cheddar Gorge! How gorgeous!

We meet at the agreed time, drive for 2.5 - 3 hours to Cheddar Gorge where we hike for 5 hours and then return home. We will make a stop at a service station for toilet and food supplies.

Hi Mudafacas!

RSVP now to see some insane autumn colours!

Autumn colour is Winkworth’s chief glory, and as the surrounding countryside assumes its wash of russet, copper and gold, its hillside takes on the more potent livery of Chinese mountains and New England forests.

Experience a pallet of golds, browns, coppers, bronzes and reds – a treasure trove of colour that reflects in the ripples of the lake.

This hike will start at Milford Station and end at Godalming, taking us through beautiful villages and countryside views, a cute church, with the arboretum right at centre stage.

There are no strenuous hills except at the arboretum, but it is a very long walk.

This hike is likely to be very, very muddy. Choose your shoes wisely.

FEE
£15 for the guided walk
£20 for the use of our private minibus
