Wednesday doesn't half come round quickly! Now, I realise the Football seasons kicked off and quite a few of people's weekends will be filled up travelling the length and breadth of the country watching their team lose to an agonizing 89th minute winner. (Or in Luton's case last night, agonizingly drawing 1-1 with Forest Green). But perhaps one particular game this weekend is just a little too far to get to? Or perhaps the pies are just too expensive to justify the trip? If your in that position like many others, we might have something for you!
First up we've got an absolutely fantastic walk for you. Cheddar Gorge. Featured in this months Country Walking, get set for breathtaking views and a cheeky slice of delicious cheese. It's been given a 'moderate' rating and features clear and easy paths plus a few challenging ascents.
Cheddar Gorge is a Limestone gorge situated in the Mendip Hills, Somerset. It's got a near vertical cliff face at the north end and lush steep grassy slopes to the south. The Gorge is a hub of activity with climbing walls, caves to explore and of course ample walking routes.
Also well worth a visit is the Cheddar Man Museum of Prehistory, which was inspired by the discovery of ancient hominids in the area. The Musuem contains information about the caves palaeontological development plus theres exhibits including original flint tools and human remains found in the cave, so you can grab some info and then go and explore the Gorge further!
