Overview of your Bath tour:

This hike across Cheddar Gorge is one of my favourite tours. As part of a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty there are stunning views all round and I love the fact that walking the Gorge is to walk through millions of years of the earth's geological history. No wonder then that Cheddar Gorge is regarded as one of the greatest natural wonders in Britain and for Lord of the Rings Fans the inspiration for Helm's Deep. The hike is at your own pace and there are plenty of opportunities to stop for some great photos. and stories including a view of Glastonbury and tales of King Arthur and Guinevere. As we go, I can explain the different ancient environments from hot deserts to arctic tundra that created the gorge. Take a look at my video and photos for a taste of the tour. And talking of taste, yes this is the home of cheddar cheese made here for hundreds of years and still matured in the local caves. A sample will be included in the tour. So, come along and hike the home of the cheese with me.
