Sunday Road Trip: Cheddar Gorge & Caves

A week ago Sunday's excursion took us to Somerset and the Cheddar Gorge & Caves. It's a busy tourist spot but beautiful with lots to see and do. And yes, this is cheddar as in cheese. The Cheddar family settled here and invented cheddar cheese. A bit different than the US variety (it's white and tastes a bit stronger than American cheddar). Enjoy your trip . . .

The cave tour was an audio tour so you could go at your own pace, which was nice.
There were some really pretty pools - you might have to enlarge to see the details of this one.
Our tickets included an open air bus tour of the gorge - only a 15 min ride, but nice to see from this vantage point.

The town was pretty too - very touristy with a junk (aka souvenir) shop every 2 feet, but still very pretty.
