Cheddar is a large Somerset village that sits beneath the Mendip Hills, it is best known for its spectacular gorge, caves and, of course, the cheese that took its name around the world. Cheddar is home to roughly 6,000 people, Cheddar has ancient roots, with nearby caves producing major archaeological finds including Cheddar Man, a human skeleton which dates back around 10,000 years. Medieval Cheddar developed around farming and its market, while cheese-making became firmly tied to the area's identity.

The A371 provides the main road link towards Wells, Axbridge and Weston-super-Mare, with buses handling public transport because unfortunately the village no longer has a railway station. Shops, pubs, cafés, schools, medical services and leisure facilities make Cheddar a useful local centre as well as a popular tourist hotspot. Cheddar Gorge, Gough's Cave and the Mendip countryside are the big draws. National Trust places nearby include King John's Hunting Lodge and Tyntesfield, while English Heritage looks after the medieval Meare Fish House, with Glastonbury and Wells also offering cracking days out.
