Exploring Cheddar Gorge and Caves, Somerset
Today, we decided to head off to the Mendip Hills in Somerset, to explore the caves and gorge of Cheddar. Yes, also home to the original cheddar cheese.

ReplyDeleteHi everyone. looks like it may have worked - hope so. looks like you are having a great time -wish we were there. We are getting travel fever -the only way to cure it is to book an overseas trip. Noel Milner is going to Southern China and Burma in July next year. It is a temptation. All the best. Di and Richo.
