Such beautiful scenery. Takes your breath away. You didn't have to go right up to the top to see this scenery,which is good because I'm unable to climb too far. Just looking up and seeing this beautiful scene above you. Would definitely recommend a visit . You would miss out on some stunning scenery if you didn't go.
Had a great half day here. Paid £24 per person to see the 2 caves, cheddar movie, museum and Jacobs ladder and tower and really enjoyed it
It was closed. Yes, on arrival most of the tourist traps of cheese, cider and fluffy toys were open, but the caves were closed.
Then to cap it all, there are two parking charges, 9:00am to 9:00pm £6. Or 3pm to 9pm, £4. Toilets had seen better days, think local council are taking the perverbial! However, had a pleasant walk around, saw some goats, lots of rushing water, very friendly staff in shops.

Fantastic experience walking through these amazing caves. It was very quiet on the day we visited, and we we felt like we were the only people in there. Beautifully lit, the commentary was very informative and the guide at the very back of the caves gave us some more information.
We went on a weekday out of the school holidays and it was not busy at all. The caves were really impressive, fascinating formations, interesting history. We walked up jacobs ladder and the tower, good views all round. It was a bit pricey at £24 but they did do an NHS discount. Lovely little shops, cafes and street to walk down outside.
Caves that are well cared for, accessible and breathtaking. Cheddar itself is a lovely town even on a rainy day and the caves provide good shelter and activity for a few hours. The walk/climb up Jacobs Ladder is tough but worth it if you can manage. Spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
Cheddar Gorge is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike. The breathtaking limestone cliffs and stunning views create an unforgettable experience. Exploring the caves reveals fascinating geological formations, while the surrounding trails offer invigorating hikes. The area's rich history, combined with its natural beauty, makes it a truly unique and awe-inspiring spot. Highly recommended!
