Cheese, History and a World Famous Gorge
Somerset Life
|May 2017
I HAD originally discounted Cheddar assuming it was a town. But I have been assured that for historical reasons it is very much counted as a village (even though it is larger than the neighbouring town of Axbridge) and I needed very little excuse to visit.
There’s no denying that Cheddar is unique: the backdrop to the village is the natural phenomenon of Britain’s largest Gorge, lying within the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasting Britain’s biggest underground river and highest inland limestone cliffs. As a result, the Gorge attracts visitors to the area all year round, over spilling into the village itself.
Tourism is obviously important to the economy, but there is a strong village community for those living and working in Cheddar.
The High Street has been revitalised over the past couple of years and is a bustling mix of independent shops and places to eat, with a couple of supermarkets for those daily essentials!
