Safety in Cheddar Gorge: Please do not stand under cliffs as small rocks may fall at
any time. Use only footpaths signed for the gorge walk at the top and bottom of Cheddar Gorge – it is dangerous to depart from these paths.

Hiking

Nice, easy hike. Suitable for the whole family. Due to the nature of the ground, there may be some slippery spots. Who wants to save the entrance fee can start the round with the opposite hill and descend at the end of the Jakobstiege.
