5 Best Activities In Cheddar

Five records sit under Cheddar in Somerset and Bristol, but two of them are glamping sites rather than days out, which leaves three places you would actually visit. That is a short list, and it is worth knowing before you arrive rather than after. The gorge is the reason most families come, and it does carry the trip.

Ocean Adventurers is the indoor play listing and the clearest fit for the youngest end. The gorge itself works for small children with the right expectations, though the caves suit some better than others and the walking can be more than a short pair of legs wants. Nobody has to complete the whole site to get something out of it.

Not entirely. Cheddar Gorge & Caves records indoor space as well as outdoor, and caves are famously indifferent to what is happening above them. Ocean Adventurers covers the rest. What rain does take away is the town trail and the appeal of walking about, which is a real loss when the list is this short.
