Visit the spectacular Cheddar Gorge and Caves, boasting awe-inspiring cliffs and extraordinary subterranean stalactite show caves, plus it holds many fascinating secrets about our prehistoric ancestors. What are you waiting for? Nature, wildlife, history, adventure - experience the wonder of it all on a perfect all-season day out in Somerset.
The Cheddar Gorge and Caves Day Ticket gives you access to six great attractions:
1. Gough’s Cave boasts beautiful rock formations and stunning features wherever you look. The new and improved lighting system makes the magnificence of the cave even more apparent.
2. Cox’s Cave featuring Yeo's Journey: The Power of Water. This spectacular immersive multimedia experience tells the captivating stroy of how our iconic caves were formed and evolved through the 'Power of Water'. The story is bought to life using state of the art animation, sound, lighting and colour.
3. Jacob’s Ladder is a 274 step climb from the bottom of the gorge to the top, leading to the Lookout Tower, stunning views of the Somerset Levels, and the start of the Cliff-Top Walk.
4. The Cliff-Top Walk is a 3 mile circular route, heading up the south side of the Gorge and back on the north side. You will see the feral goats and, if you are lucky, the rare, primitive Soay sheep.
5. In the Museum of Prehistory, you will discover how our ancestors survived the Ice Age, through the fascinating and thought-provoking exhibits.
6. Beyond the View takes you on a cinematic journey through Cheddar Gorge, offering you a different perspective, historical insights and stunning imagery of one of the most iconic landscapes in Britain.
All our attractions are dog and family friendly.
We are near the western end of the Great West Way in Somerset – a worthy detour off the main route!
