Access guidance
- Those with severely restricted mobility or who are wheelchair dependent will find much of Cheddar Gorge & Caves inaccessible including the caves, the Cliff-top Walk and the Lookout Tower.
- With rocky paths, cliff edges and high vantage points, Cheddar Gorge can be dangerous so please ensure children, dogs and other vulnerable people are supervised at all times. The Cliff-top walk can be muddy and slippery underfoot on wet days. Wear walking shoes/boots and clothing to suit the weather. Be careful at cliff-edges. There are some steep sections of the walk and much of the path is rocky in nature.
- Cheddar is dog friendly. All well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
