Christmas Fancy Dress party & Hiking Cheddar Gorge, Mendip Hills WEEKEND
The Outdooraholics Christmas trip is back for the 13th year and this year we're at a new venue, just 2.5 hours drive from West London.
Put on your festive hats as we’re off to the Mendip Hills and Cheddar Gorge. We will eat, drink and make merry with friends and fellow hikers in our last weekend hiking trip before the New Year.
Less formal than usual, our Christmas trips are all about fun, festivity, partying and hiking.
Oh and to add to the fun we're having a fancy dress party on Saturday night. For the Fancy dress we've chosen a theme that can suit any budget - Fantasy and Fiction :-D
Please note, there will be loud music and partying until 11pm. If this does not appeal, then this trip is not for you but we have plenty of non party hiking weekends.
The Mendip hills within Somerset are designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Stunning landscapes of steep rocky cliffs are home to the largest and one of the most spectacular natural sights in England - Cheddar Gorge. Situated on the northern edge of the village of Cheddar this dramatic limestone gorge stands at 450ft high and spreads across almost 5km. Formed under the sea 300 million years ago Cheddar Gorge lends its name to many things - cheese, caves, flowers and Britain's oldest complete skeleton buried in Gough’s Cave 9000 years ago.
Many of those who visit the area are unaware of the outstanding diversity of landscape and numerous exciting hiking trails. We will introduce you to the best Cheddar has to offer, therefore we’ve put together a trip combining good doses of both hiking and cultural exploration.

• Explore the South Downs National Park — the newest in the UK🥾 Hike Description
This is Outdooraholics’ most popular hike, a dramatic and exhilarating journey across the chalk cliffs of Sussex that we have been leading for over 12 years. The Seven Sisters are a spectacular series of gleaming white chalk cliffs formed at the end of the last Ice Age by glacial meltwater. Erosion has since created an “eighth sister,” and today the cliffs stand as one of England’s most iconic landscapes.We begin in the coastal town of Seaford, home to a Napoleonic-era Martello Tower built in 1810 as part of a chain of 103 coastal defences against French invasion. From here, the trail climbs onto the cliff tops, where for much of the day we walk high above the sea, treated to endless coastal views and fresh sea air.
Our route follows the South Downs Way, passing through Birling Gap and past the striking Belle Tout Lighthouse, famously moved 17 metres inland in 1999 to save it from falling into the sea. The final highlight is Beachy Head, a dramatic beauty spot with sheer chalk cliffs dropping into the sea below.
We finish in Eastbourne, statistically England’s sunniest town, where we celebrate our coastal adventure with refreshments in a local pub.

There are sheer drops off the cliffs and some of these soft chalk cliffs are crumbling at the edges with chunks regularly falling and no fencing in place. Please keep at least 3 metres away from the edges. If you fall, or the ground at the edge of the cliff collapses it will almost certainly be fatal.© Outdooraholics Hiking UK Ltd 2025 E & OE

For centuries, the beauty of Box Hill has inspired artists, writers and musicians. Jane Austen set a scene from Emma here, George Lambert painted it in 1733 (now in Tate Britain), and it has even featured in modern songs. The poet Keats and G.K. Chesterton also drew inspiration from these hills, showing how this corner of Surrey has long captured creative imaginations.Our hike begins in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with woodland and rolling trails through Norbury Park before joining the twisting roads used in the 2012 Olympic cycling race. From here, we climb to the summit of Box Hill, where the Salomons Memorial viewpoint offers sweeping panoramas across the Weald and as far as Devil’s Dyke by the South Coast. On the way we also encounter traces of history, including a late 19th-century fort built to defend against French invasion and the semi-ruined folly tower from 1815.
After soaking up the views, we descend to the River Mole and cross its famous Stepping Stones, a much-loved landmark of the area. The trail then continues through open chalk downland and woodland before reaching Denbies Wine Estate, the largest vineyard in England, winner of international awards including Best Rosé in the World at the 2010 International Wine Challenge.
A wonderfully varied hike that blends chalk downs, riverside beauty, iconic views and layers of history — all within easy reach of London.
