Today there is only one small cheese factory in the Cheddar area that still produces traditional Cheddar cheese. You will visit this to get an insight into how the cheese is made.

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 Bristol.
