Additional Information:

- Cheddar is dog friendly. All well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

- With rocky paths, cliff edges and high vantage points, Cheddar Gorge can be dangerous so please ensure children, dogs and other vulnerable people are supervised at all times.

- The Cliff-top walk can be muddy and slippery underfoot on wet days. Wear walking shoes/boots and clothing to suit the weather. Be careful at cliff-edges. There are some steep sections of the walk and much of the path is rocky in nature.

- Those with severely restricted mobility or who are wheelchair dependent will find much of Cheddar Gorge & Caves inaccessible including the caves, the Cliff-top Walk and the Lookout Tower.

- Staff are on-hand to help you, so please ask their advice to help you get the best experience.

- Please review individual attraction pages for full accessibility information.

- The road into Cheddar is steep and windy and wildlife sometimes walks into the road, so please drive carefully.
