What's on

You can build your weekend of adventure and sign up to take part in trail-running and mountain-biking challenges, as well as having a go at climbing and caving in the crags of Cheddar Gorge. Dive into some free action like axe-throwing and frisbee-golf or, if a chilled weekend in the sun is more your thing, relax and listen to live music and insprational speakers.

Cheddar Gorge

Cheddar Gorge is one of England's most iconic and spectacular landscapes. We are really proud to own the north side of this spectacular gorge and we hope that you will enjoy exploring it in a way that suits you. At almost 400 feet deep and three miles long, this is England’s largest gorge, and with its weathered crags and pinnacles, one of our most spectacular natural sights. The gorge would have begun forming about one million years ago during the last Ice Age when water from melting glaciers formed a river, which over time started to carve into the limestone rock creating the steep cliffs you see today. The Cheddar Yeo River gradually made its way underground, creating the famous Cheddar Caves.
