Local Attractions
Cheddar Gorge and Caves - See the famous Gough's and Cox's show caves with magnificent caverns, rock sculptures and brilliant lights. Cheddar gorge never fails to impress as you drive up through the winding road beneath the towering limestone cliffs.
Wells and Wookey Hole - Wookey Hole Caves are regarded as Britain's most spectacular underground caverns. You can also visit the paper mill and old-time amusement arcade here. Then drive on to Wells, England's smallest City, to see the Bishop's Palace and Cathedral.
Bath - Up the gorge and over the Mendips is historic Bath. Spend a day browsing the specialist shops, and visiting the various Roman sites, plus much more besides.
Glastonbury & Clarks Village - A drive to the south is Glastonbury, where you can climb the Tor and visit the Abbey, as well as browsing the various "alternative" shops in the town centre. The town of Street is right next door and is home to the vast Clarks Factory Shopping village.
Also in Somerset is the West Somerset Railway, which runs steam and heritage diesel services to the coast at Minehead.
