Advantages: Great scenery, Mysterious caves, Photography allowed, Good value. Disadvantages: Hard on the feet
...My girlfriend lives near Cheddar and we finally got round to visiting the Gorge and caves the other Sunday. Cheddar Gorge is a natural phenomemon created by melting glaciers in the last ice age, the limestone cliffs are the highest and most impressive in Great Britain. Since their discovery in the late 1890's the caves of Cheddar Gorge have made Cheddar a very popular tourist destination not just for the British but also for visiting foreigners.

quite a number of homeless people in the streets.
There is the fine American Museum to visit at Claverton Manor, a gorgeous theatre,art galleries, and verdant botanical garden at Victoria Park.
