The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company

Today there is only one small cheese factory in the Cheddar area that produces traditional Cheddar cheese. You will visit this to get a great insight into how Cheddar cheese is made. If you are lucky you may even see the cheese being made whilst you are there.

Should you wish there will be an opportunity to purchase cheese as souvenirs or to enjoy on the rest of your holiday.

Cheddar Gorge

The spectacular Cheddar Gorge is England's largest gorge. Driving through the gorge you will have the opportunity to stop and walk up to your guide's favourite viewpoint on the gorge. You will be rewarded with fantastic panoramic views over the gorge and the surrounding area. This walk does involve a steep 15 minute ascent on an uneven path which can get muddy when there has been rain so this stop is optional as it may not be suitable for everyone. At the end of the tour you will be driven back to Bath.
1 hourAdmission Ticket Free
