Nice short walk to see the Gorge from the top. Possible to do with children (mine was 10+). You can do the circular walk around the Gorge from here and finish going down Jacob's ladder.

very sketchy need the cliffs edge. be wary of erosion.
Stunning views across the plains of Somerset. can see for absolutely miles on a clear day. Don't be fooled in to thinking it's an easy route I have made. It really isn't. Proper footwear and even poles are recommended. Bring waterproofs as back up shelter, as there are not many places out of the gorge to shelter. Download the route to device also, there is no phone coverage the further in to the gorge you go.
