Wells, Cheddar Cheese and Cheddar Gorge Private Tour

The journey, in full

- You will be collected at 8:30am from your preferred pick-up point in Bath e.g. your hotel and will be driven through the English countryside to the cathedral-city of Wells. - You will have a private walking tour of Well's historic centre. Fans of the cult film "Hot Fuzz" may recognise their surroundings as Wells was used as the location for this film. - You will visit the magnificent 13th Century Wells Cathedral. Its beautiful interior has a number of unique features including the world's second oldest working clock. You will also visit the picturesque Vicar's Close - the oldest residential street in Europe. - After lunch at an English pub you will be driven to Cheddar, the birth-place of the famous Cheddar cheese. - Today there is only one small cheese factory in the area that produces traditional Cheddar cheese. You will visit this to get a great insight into how Cheddar cheese is made. If you are lucky you may even see the cheese being made whilst you are there. At the end of the visit you will have the chance to taste different varieties of the cheese they produce, including a cheese which is matured in the local caves. - On your return to Bath you will be driven through the spectacular Cheddar Gorge, England's largest gorge. You will have the opportunity to stop and walk up to your guide's favourite viewpoint on the gorge. You will be rewarded with fantastic panoramic views over the gorge and the surrounding area. This walk does involve a steep 15 minute ascent on an uneven path which can get muddy and slippery when there has been rain so this stop is optional as it may not be suitable for everyone. - You will return to Bath around 5pm.
