Towering limestone cliffs, stalactite-filled caves and the story of Cheddar Man, with climbing and escape rooms too.
Cheddar Gorge is a dramatic limestone gorge in the Mendip Hills, with cliffs up to 137 metres deep. A day ticket covers Gough's Cave, Jacob's Ladder and the Museum of Prehistory. Gough's Cave is where Cheddar Man, Britain's oldest complete human skeleton, was found, and its stalactites and stalagmites were shaped by an underground river.
Tip: Arrive before 11am, especially in school holidays and on bank holidays, to find a parking space easily. Booking day tickets online in advance also saves money.

A famous Somerset hill topped by a medieval tower, with wide views across the Levels and beyond.
Glastonbury Tor is a conical hill rising from the Somerset Levels, topped by the roofless 15th-century tower of St Michael's Church. Excavations at the summit revealed the plans of two earlier churches on the site.
Tip: There is no parking at the Tor itself, so use the nearest fee-paying car park at Draper and Co on Chilkwell Street and walk, and keep your dog on a lead because sheep graze here.

Walk into Cheddar Gorge's famous cave to see rock formations and learn about its Ice Age past.
Gough's Cave sits in Cheddar Gorge on the Mendip Hills. The first 820 metres are open to the public as a show cave, and this stretch holds most of the cave's more spectacular formations. It runs on to Diamond Chamber, the end of the show cave today.
Tip: Combine your visit with the Cheddar Man and the Cannibals Museum in the Gorge, where you can see a replica of the Magdalenian remains.

A moated medieval palace beside Wells Cathedral, with a working drawbridge, ruined great hall and spring-fed grounds.
The Bishop's Palace in Wells stands next to the cathedral and has been the residence of the bishops of Bath and Wells since the early thirteenth century. Its walls, gatehouse and moat were added in the 14th century, and you cross the moat by a bridge to the gatehouse, which has a drawbridge and portcullis.

Walk around one of the best preserved Roman sites in the world, built around a natural hot spring.

We had a lovely week in a caravan. A small quiet site was very relaxing and wonderfull views of the surrounding countryside . Excellent location in between Wells and Cheddar. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely book again and recommend.
Had a great time, would definitely come again.
The Caravan was a great size the only small niggle was the carpet in the lounge. We had a push along carpet cleaner that didn't really do much. I have 2 non moulting breed type dogs so I'm not use to the kind of dog hair that was found in small patches here and there. With a proper electric hoover this would have been sorted. But as its the dog accommodation caravan this is to be expected.
Great accommodation4 adults 2 dogs and a baby
We have stayed here before which is why we picked it again.Unfortunately this experience was not quite so nice and as we had upgraded to a luxury lodge we were expecting better.Have stayed at alot of hoseasons places and the cleanliness has been 10 out of 10 but this lodge was a 4 at best, very disappointed.The smell hit us first the kitchen just stank, the fridge was filthy had mold in bottom drawer and spilled milk all over it. Kitchen had not been hoovered debris all over floor, loads of dust on telly and massive cobwebs on inside of kitchen doors. Bits in bottom of kettle so we never used that.I did complain and a lovely lady came and cleaned it, sprayed air freshener but that unfortunately did not last long.We were given a free meal and drink which was a nice gesture but the food was not great the chicken was like a flip flop.We also ended up leaving a day early as the bed was so uncomfortable.Ideal location for alot of places to visit but this experience has put us off staying here again, such a shame as our first experience here was lovely.
The caravan was very clean and comfortable but it was very worn and the floor had started to go on it. Bed was very comfortable. The park was really good and staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Love Bucklegrove can't fault the site as it's really a lovely place to stay, but some or the caravans i'v stayed in are starting to look a little tired, staff great really helpfull & friendly, on site bar great (when it's open), having said that I'll be back maybe later this year.
Lodge No 3 location lovely great views. Lodge itself was ok not cleaned to my standards and needs some Tlc. Hot tub ok but only sore the water being tested twice while we were there and my understanding is that it should be tested daily. The area around the hot tub was fenced so it was private But there are no gates so the dog had to be on a leash every time it was used and it would not take much to put gates in either side so dogs could have a little freedom. The Staff were very helpful and friendly. All in all we had a lovely week with plenty of places in and around the area to go and see.
Stayed in a lodge with hot tub. Garden area was private. The lodge was beautifully clean and very well equipped. Surroundings were gorgeous. Lovely food and friendly, helpful staff. Our stay was very leisurely and peaceful. Cant wait to go again.
Great site, great place, great staff, accommodation a bit tatty needed a bit of tlc.
If you are looking for standard accommodation at a good price in a location close to Cheddar then this holiday park is a good choice.
This was a comfortable caravan, but could do with a few more cooking pans etc. One or two repairs are needed. We enjoyed having a balcony so that we could get fresh air without worrying about the dog escaping!
We had a lovely stay at this peaceful spot. Sharon and Robert really go above and beyond to make sure everythings just right. Its our second visit and were already planning to come back again soon!
We needed a relaxing escape with our dog and this place delivered! Lovely countryside walks, plenty of nearby pubs and top-notch accommodation. The dog loved it so much, he didnt want to leave the car! Definitely recommend.
Lovely place, friendly hosts and the jacuzzi really made our stay special. Would come back!
Looking forward to our next visit soon.
Site very clean and well run.Very friendly and helpful staff.Caravan a bit dated but adequate for value of holiday.
We really enjoyed our stay overall! The caravan was charming, though a bit worn in spots and some little fixes could be made. The hot tub was fantastic and the towels, bedding and tea towels were much appreciated. Thanks!
We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage tucked away on a working farm, yet it feels surprisingly private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely people who make you feel right at home. The place itself is really spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave! The garden is perfect for dogs, totally secluded and nicely furnished. Plenty of walks nearby and Thaxted's eateries, especially The Star and The Maypole, are worth checking out. Wed definitely recommend it!
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely spot! The setting is so peaceful and private, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The owners were super friendly and always there if we needed anything, but they also respected our privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after long days out cycling. Only thing to note is the noise from planes overhead since its right under Stansteds flight path. It didnt ruin our trip, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth knowing. Overall, a great place to unwind!
Really enjoyed our stay! The place was perfect for relaxing and exploring nearby spots.
Really enjoyed our stay, the caravan was spotless and the hot tub was brilliant!
Had a lovely break here! The park is really nice, plenty to keep us busy and the scenery is stunning.
The hot tub was a bit cosy and lacked privacy, which was a little disappointing. The playground for the kids was quite small and lacked variety. But overall, we had a lovely weekend and would definitely return for a long weekend again. Nice break!
Hot tub was a bit small and not very private and the play ground for the children abit 2 small not a lot in it but apart from that we had a lovely weekend and would go back for a long weekend again
Great experience overall
Honestly, we had a fantastic time! The hosts were super friendly and really went out of their way to help. The place was just perfect-everything was thought of. Were already planning to come back again!
Perfect spot for exploring, really convenient base for day trips.
We had such a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The peaceful setting was perfect for unwinding and the hot tub was a real treat! Everything inside was spotless and well-equipped. Plenty of walks nearby, made our trip truly special. Highly recommend!
We loved this cosy little cottage! Its nicely tucked away so it feels private, yet close enough to shops and local spots. The hot tub was fantastic and the underfloor heating kept everything really comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie were lovely hosts. Cant wait to return soon!
It was lovely clean and well maintained, the staff were friendly and welcoming.
The site appears small but it's larger than you think.
Our grandchildren loved the walkway with the animals in it. Enjoyed swimming each day.
Site managers were amazing. Very hard working & dedicated. Also provided reassurance and first aid to my little one when she hurt herself. Cant thank them enough. Caravans clean and tidy, site lovely with bar, food and a park outside for children.
A great little site between Cheddar Gorge and Wells. The caravan was clean and well equipped. I was impressed they provided all the little extras, like towels, toilet rolls, hand wash, washing up liquid, cloths and tea towels and even a hairdryer. These were much appreciated.
Lovely place, great staff
Would stay again ?
Lovely staff… lady and man very helpful in every way possible.
Difficult with eating out on wed/Thursday off season due to club house closed and no other pub open in area.
Difficult for dog walks but that is easily resolved just jump in a car and go out.
We will not return but that is not a reflection on the owners, we just didn’t fit in .
Everything was great at Bucklegrove, 2 suggestions I would make that would have made the experience evem better
1. To have some sort of screen for the hot tub so that their is privacy from the neighbours as well as from passers by.
2. Wifi - Although it was not advertised as wifi provided, when we got there they said wifi was available, however the signal was too weak to function and mobiles were not picking up their signals from providers either.
The upside with no wifi was that kids couldn't stay in their rooms but were forced to interact
Brilliant, quiet holiday park, great location, small pool. Caravan was lovely and clean, loads of camping facilities onsite, highly recommended!
Amazing place
Excellent- would definitely stay again. Staff were really helpful. Caravan was well equipped and clean.
