Product spotlight
Cheddar Gorge – heritage, nature
Cheddar Gorge is one of England’s most iconic landscapes. Almost 400 feet deep and three miles long, it is the nation’s largest gorge, known for its dramatic cliffs and crags. Formed about a million years ago during the last Ice Age, glacial meltwater carved into the limestone to create the steep scenery seen today. The Cheddar Yeo River later moved underground, forming the famous Cheddar Caves.
