Tourism and community information for Cheddar village, Somerset, UK
Cheddar Market Cross
Welcome to the original Cheddar Village web site. If you are visiting Cheddar you will find this site a useful source of information regarding things to see and do in and around Cheddar, the Gorge and Caves, getting about, and local events. It’s run from the village as a non-profit venture to provide useful information to visitors and residents alike, and should help you to get more out of your time here. Also if you are working or living away from the area, it will help to keep you informed of local goings-on.
