Cheddar

 

On the edge of the Somerset Levels, Cheddar’s elevation soars 500 feet to the top of Cheddar Gorge.

 

Home to the country’s highest inland cliffs, Cheddar boasts one of Great Britain's most impressive landmarks alongside world-famous produce.

 

Visitors to the village of Cheddar have been astounded by Cheddar’s magnificent limestone  Gorge  for centuries.

However, it’s not just the iconic landscape that puts Cheddar on the map: Cheddar cheese is world famous and the traditional method of cheese making can still be seen at the  Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company.
