バリントンでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

High elevation Hill mixed terrain of mud stones, an enjoyable scramble at times.

Cheddar Gorge is home to a notable population of feral goats, which are a significant part of its unique ecosystem. These goats are free-roaming and play a crucial role in the gorge's conservation efforts. The goats were deliberately introduced to Cheddar Gorge in the 1990s (and alongside some Soay sheep) to help manage the landscape. Before their introduction, sheep grazing had declined, leading to scrub and trees encroaching on the rare, flower-rich limestone grasslands. The goats act as natural "graziers," keeping aggressive scrub in check and preventing it from smothering the rare plant species that thrive there, such as the famous Cheddar Pink.

Interesting area and very very low traffic

We found it to be the best route to the Gorge, longer but flatter overall !
