Home : Minibus day-trips : - Cheddar Gorge
Cheddar Gorge is a 450 feet limestone gorge lying on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills near the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England. This dramatic, beautiful limestone gorge was formed by meltwater floods during the cold periglacial periods which have occurred over the last 1.2 million years. In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers, Cheddar Gorge was named as the second greatest natural wonder in Britain.
The walk will also take us through the Mendip Hills, which have been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The windswept plateau is punctuated by spectacular dry valleys and gorges, and impressive rocky outcrops. The hill tops also provide spectacular views across to Wales, the Quantocks and Glastonbury Tor.
