Cheddar Gorge

Britain's grandest limestone gorge, the B3135 winding beneath 130-metre cliffs.

The B3135 threads the floor of Cheddar Gorge, where weathered limestone walls rise sheer on either side, one of the deepest gorges in Britain. It is a short, theatrical drive, climbing in tight curves from the village onto the Mendip plateau. Pedestrians, cyclists and the famous wild goats share the narrow road, and rockfall is a genuine hazard, so keep it slow and look up often.
