Ep.5 - Hiking Cheddar Gorge

Ep.5 - Hiking Cheddar Gorge

The Best Hiking Practice

Cheddar Gorge is one of UK's secret (not so secret) wonders. In my opinion, it is the best hiking practice that the South UK has to offer. It is easily accessible to everyone, especially in the South West being located south of Bristol.

It's an ideal location for anyone strapped for time or fuel money and can't make it to Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia, Lake District National Parks or Scotland.

The Walk

Cheddar Gorge offers beautiful and stunning views across and all the way out to the sea. Using the National Trust's directions, it was also a super easy to follow. Parking can be difficult at peak times, but here's a top tip: go mid-late afternoon. You will bypass a lot of the traffic which means more parking and less traffic on the route. The top is west facing, which means some of the most gorgeous sunsets, and a short walk (and a few hundred steps) to finish the walk back on the street below.

The only downside? I'm yet to go to one of the cute coffee shops before they close!

The walk begins with a sharp and long ascent, takes you over some Norwegian Flat terrain (basically: not flat), down on to the road and then back up the other side on a longer, less steep ascent to the highest point on the gorge.

It is the best hike in the area to make you feel worked, and take your breathe away on two counts: the elevation and sunset.

Not Just Hiking

If you're interested, the area also provides so much more than hiking. You can do rock climbing, explore the caves, or simply be a tourist in the town of Cheddar.

https://linktr.ee/betweenthemountains  In this episode, I go over my recent trip to Georgia to climb Mount Kazbek day by day. It's just impossible to include every detail and even when editing I remembered bits that would have been fantastic to include. But tomorrow I'll remember even more.  I also cut in segments from interviews I did with three of the people from the trip.  I hope you enjoy it!  ------------------------------------------- If you enjoy the show please: Subscribe/follow so that you don’t miss another episode; Share with a friend;  Leave a rating on iTunes; and Leave a rating on Spotify (press the three dots).
