Embark on a challenging 9.7-mile (15.6 km) jogging loop through the iconic Cheddar Gorge and Mendip Hills, featuring 1274 feet (388 metres) of elevation gain and taking around 1 hour and 47 minutes to complete. This difficult route offers spectacular views of England's largest limestone gorge, with its towering cliff faces and unique rock pinnacles. You will traverse diverse terrain, from accessible paths to rocky, uneven sections, enjoying panoramic vistas across the Somerset Levels from clifftops and reaching the Beacon Batch Summit for extensive views.
Be prepared for a strenuous experience, especially the initial ascent from Cheddar, which can include Jacob's Ladder, a 274-step climb. The route demands good to very good fitness and sure-footedness due to its steep climbs and varied surfaces. If you encounter road sections within the gorge, exercise caution as paths can be narrow with limited dedicated footpaths alongside traffic.
This trail is a highlight of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, renowned for its geological significance and rich history. The area is archaeologically important, being the discovery site of "Cheddar Man," Britain's oldest complete skeleton. Keep an eye out for feral goats grazing on the cliffs, and enjoy the outstanding 360-degree views from Pavey's Lookout Tower and the Beacon Batch summit.
