Cheddar Walking

Back in May I blogged about a new initiative in Cheddar that Gorge View Cottage had got behind and helped set up. Well on Friday 4th September it was formally launched. Cheddar Walking is the name of the organisation that will be developing and promoting a quality walking experience in and around Cheddar for visitors and residents alike. Most importantly we have satisfied the tough requirements to achieve full Walkers are Welcome accreditation, a quality mark for over 100 destinations across the UK where walkers are assured of a warm welcome by businesses and community alike, and with plenty of maintained paths and walking guides to help people explore the well-known and not-so-well-known walks around the area. 
The very active steering group have checked and tested seven walks for the launch  - everything from a short 30 minute walk near the gorge and caves, to the iconic 2.5 hour gorge walk, and including a wheelchair/buggy friendly walk around the reservoir. All of these are downloadable and printable from the website, but for all Gorge View Cottage guests these walks are all ready in the special folder that includes lots and lots of take-and-use sheets for enjoying the area.
Next year we'll be co-organising a 3-day walking festival in Cheddar over the August Bank Holiday so if you want to stay for all three days and make the most of it then better think about booking early.
