It is probably worth assuring those contemplating a break in and around Cheddar that the road up through the gorge, a beautiful and breathtaking drive, or cycle (or even walk), is open again. It was closed for many weeks after flash flood damage to the road surface. Repairs we hampered due to continuous stream of water from the very top. But thanks to a bunch of local cavers some blocked sink-holes in the upper reaches were cleared allowing the water to do what it should do naturally and flow down in to the Mendips and eventually percolate through as the Cheddar Yeo.
So good for the volunteers. The road dried up. The repairs got done, and it is all back to normal. There is though a slight tinge of sadness: whenever a road gets closed the route can be reclaimed by walkers and cyclists and they can enjoy it in a traffic free environment.
