The caves are just 300m from the cottage which is situated next to Frank's restaurant and opposite The White Hart, a quiet village pub popular with walkers and cavers. Cheddar lies in the heart of the Mendips, an area renowned for walking and beautiful scenery. The nearest beach is a 25 minute drive. The Clarks Village Outlet shopping centre is just 20 minutes away. The historic towns of Bath, Bristol, Glastonbury & Wells are also close by and much of the West Country is easily accessible.
