Things to see and do Cheddar

This is the only cheddar cheese factory in Cheddar! It's the perfect opportunity to visit a museum of craftsmanship "in action": you'll see how England's famous favorite cheese is made, as they've known it since 1170. The various stages of the process are shown, and the caves are used as giant refrigerators. The tour naturally ends with a tasting of the different varieties. Every cheddar has its own particularity!

The Cheddar Caves are the main local attraction and are accessible through a single company that manages all the entrances. Several types of tickets are sold, the most common being also the most complete. It gives access to the various caves, the museum (which houses a 40,000-year-old human skeleton) and other attractions (natural and unnatural) such as a bus tour of the gorge, a three-mile hike to the top or access to the observation tower. Climbing and caving trips are also possible.
